Posted June 19, 200816 yr comment_251290 I have a problem that someone else must have had. The headlights and brake lights on my 70Z work but I don't have any parking lights, tail lights, side marker lights, or turn signels. The back up lights and flashers work.I have replaced the combo switch and checked all the fuses. All ok. I have pulled apart and reconnected all the push to connect wires that I could find and still nothing?Any ideas?sawdust2005 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/28481-what-happened-to-my-parking-lights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
June 20, 200816 yr comment_251311 The Park, Tail, Side Markers and all dash ILlumination is powered from the 20A PT fuse.You may need to check for 12V at the fuse, an eyeball check may not be sufficient.Glass fuses have a habit of being open circuit even if the fuse element looks intact.Use a test lamp or a multimeter.

June 20, 200816 yr comment_251327 As Nissanman said, it is most likely the fuse. If your flashers work, it should be the fuse. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/28481-what-happened-to-my-parking-lights/#findComment-251327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

June 23, 200816 yr comment_251633 The tail lights are on a different fuse than the parking, turn, etc. Try replacing that fuse as well, as it is the most common reason for them not to work.

June 23, 200816 yr comment_251658 I am going to assume this car has had the issue for a long time, and it didn't just pop up.If you just bought the car, look for some quick fix wiring that someone else did. I know a guy who has his lights hooked up to the ignition switch (if running, lights on) because it came that way. It could be a bad fuse block, or perhaps something is just really badly corroded on the backside.
