'71 Chevy park light doesn't work after having front sheetmetal off
My passenger side park light in the bumper ('71 Blazer) and passenger side marker light in the fender won't work after having some of the front sheet metal off (they worked before).
Symptoms:
Things I've checked:
Posts I've read with similar problems were ground related, but I'm still at a loss as to what is wrong here.

Check the ground connection between the frame, engine and battery

I cleaned and checked the grounds between the battery and body, and between the body and frame (the one in the passenger front wheel well). It didn't help.

I don't know if this is true for the older trucks. But my 89 does funky things if I have a light out somewhere. Check all your exterior lights. I had a rear parking light out and my turns signals would only work with the lights on. Hope this helps.

Update: I put another park light housing assembly in and now it works.
