parking light works only with hood open?

[matthufham]

that's my problem i discovered today. this concerns my front driver side parking lamp.

the turn signal works whenever, the parking light works with the hood open, and doesn't work with the hood fully shut.

the turn signal indicator lamp on the dash stays lit up when the light doesn't work (hood closed), and goes away when the light works (hood open)

the indicator lamp on the dash sometimes flickers when driving. i'm totally lost here.

it's not stock, my lights are behind the grille. i rewired the pigtail yesterday because i thought the parking light was fused to the turn signal wire somehow, but that isn't the problem since i still have this problem.



everything worked fine til a few months ago
