Do the front park lights work? The front and rear park lights should be on the same circuit. If no park lights operational, possible switch or power/ground issue. If only rear park lights not working, suspect burned out bulbs/wiring problem to rear lights
It may be all one sealed unit. Newer cars have headlight , blinker and parking light all in one housing. If the headlight is out you change the bulb by unscrewing the bulb capsule from the back. If you are trying to replace it because the lens is damaged or cracked, you will have to replace the whole unit.
These are all different circuits. The brake lights are on a 10amp fuse - the headlights are on a 50amp fuse - and the parking and dash lights are on a 20amp fuse. Do you have power going into the headlight switch and the brake light switch ?
No. Dash lights being out could be a bad headlight switch, since the dash lights are routed through the headlight switch, not the dimmer switch. Park and tail lights also controlled by the headlight switch.
The parking lights would not normally come on unless you turn them on with the headlight switch. The daytime running lights would come on in drive and go off in park. If you can't turn the parking lights on with the headlight switch, you would check the fuse, the relay if equipped, and the headlight switch.
I THINK if you barely put on the parking brake, just enough to make the lights go off, but not drag, you will be OK. Try it and see if the lights go out when the parking brake is applied.
You say that the headlights work. The parking lights don't. My question is...are the parking lights working properly when the headlights are on? If they are working in conjunction with the headlights, but won't work independently, then the problem might lie in the switch. Hope this helped and best wishes.
