Park lights out
Hi all,
I've done a search and haven't seen this one. My drivers side park lamps fuse has blown, but not immediatly. I noticed the lights were out and replaced the fuse and it worked. Drove a couple days later with the lights on and noticed they were out again, but they were on the night I replaced the fuse. It seems there is a gradual draw that is causing this. I haven't had a chance to get to the dealer for more fuse's. Anyone had this happen and have a fix? Regards, Kris

I'm a new owner and don't know much, but could it be a bad ground?
Can you trace the wires/lines to the fuse, or as far as you can. Bad grounds in any system can drive you nuts, this much I know.

There is a diode to be replaced that is under your dash. It controls only the one side parking light in front.
Strange yes. I will have to look up the part # but if you do a search on this forum you may find it. I believe it is unique to 86.
