i have also tried replaing the bulb, still unsucessfull

You check for voltage with the parking lights on?

Re: parking light is going crazy!!!
 

I may be wrong but your signal and your marker should be 2 seperate wires. Sounds like signal works, marker don't. Broke wire? Broke wire going to ground? Bad contact at light assembly? Good Luck, I hate electrical problems.....

Re: parking light is going crazy!!!
 

okay i will double check the wiring

Re: parking light is going crazy!!!
 

Many electrical problems end up being ground related. Check your grounds.

Re: parking light is going crazy!!!
 

the ground is the same as the headlight ground and i cleaned it up.


still nothing.......




come on guys what else could be causing my problem??????

Re: parking light is going crazy!!!
 

Does your green turn signal indicator on your dash stay on.. or flicker when you go down the road.. without the signals being on?

Re: parking light is going crazy!!!
 

yea the green signal on the dash stays lit until i turn on the blinker then it will blink

Re: parking light is going crazy!!!
 

Is that at night with the Park lights headlights on?


If so you have a wire crossing somewhere.

Re: parking light is going crazy!!!
 

OK.. mine did the same thing... what happens is that somewhere in your electrical loom there's a short.. or wires touching... which causes your green signal light on your dash to turn on.. though it shouldn't when you don't use the turn signals. The problem with mine was the wires that plugged into the parking lights was loose.. not meaning the socket that plugged in behind the light was loose.. but inside the connections.. try wiggling the wiring loom from the firewall.. all the way to the lights themselves.. maybe even disconnect it from he firewall connection.. and re-connecting it....

Ok. I grabbed some pix so you can have a better idea, I have the same set-up.... The little black pig-tail on the top is what I was having problems with.. I wiggled that one.. and the light came back on.. it was real touchy... but it was the culprit... good luck
