Default passenger parking lights all dead, please help

My Front & Rear passenger parking lights are all out.

My headlights / directionals / brake lights all work.

I checked the grounds & the bulbs.

Any idea on a common wire that could be causing this ?

I have to assume it would be at the light switch, but after looking at the fuse box, the front & rear appear to be on separate circuits.

thx.

I think I had the same issue (I think it was both pass-side lights, but can't remember for certain) and it turned out being the fuse.

The light switch (I assume) would only have a single output which would fee both right and left sides so unlikely to be the cause.

I'm not sure if the late cars have a similar issue, but when my 84 n/a kept on killing all the lights on the driver side (but turn signal/brake/reverse still worked) it was the headlight switch

I looked into this for a 'lister about a month ago, and the left, right, front, rear are all independant sides of the switch. Your testing should start with the fuse/relay panel and a meter/test light. If you need wiring diagrams I can print/fax/email to you after work (4:00 EST).

Hey Doug,

I've checked the fuses, already, but you are totally right, i need to hit that box with a meter / test light. That will tell me if the problem is before the fuse box or after.

Thanks & thanks so much for the offer, but i have the full library of manuals & diagrams already.
