Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Lost parking lights

Lets start this off right. I have lost all parking light function,front and rear. Hazards work fine,turn signals work fine,headlights work fine,brights work fine,and last,but not least,brake lights work fine. No blown bulbs and/or bad light filaments,no blown fuses in engine and/or cockpit fuse panels. Headlight switch replaced out of frustration. Just "plain ol' no f'in power"!!!

What the heck am I not looking at??

Rear licence lights ok?

I presume you checked fuses 33 and 35, interior fuse panel? If so then pulling these fuses and checking for volts on feed side of fuse would be a starting place. There have been various problems posted which were resolved by finding bad connections or faulty wires at fuse panel.

I don't know what the problem is, I presume it isn't the fuses, or the relay. I have just had the same problem on my 96, but with the headlights, if anyone knows how to fix it, let me know.

hey, take a look at a fusible link that may be under the driver side cowl... mine melted and caused a major short, yours may have just broke or something.

you'll have to take off the windsheild wipers for this check. not sure if your car will have it, but mine had about 2 feet of fusible link for the parking lights run with the wires for the wiper motor.

i cut the fusible link, and everything worked except the parking lights (parking lights, licence lights, dash illumination, etc.)
