Parking light help
My park lights work when my switch is in the park light position but go out when the headlights are on. Is this normal?

Re: Parking light help
Judging by your name you have a 69 and if so then no yours should stay on with the headlights. I have a 69 and mine stay on. If I'm correct only 67 has it where the park lamps turn off when the headlights are on.

Re: Parking light help
My truck is a 69 but I have a painless wiring harness, aftermarket headlight switch (Advance auto parts) and I have a 68 front end on it. Would it be something in the switch or in the harness that makes the parking lights go out when the lights are on? I want them to stay on. Thanks for your help.

Re: Parking light help
Just a little history on park lights. They were originally intended for just that, parking. In some states it is technically illegal to drive with just the parking lights on (I called them "be cools" back in high school). They were used to let other motorists know that the vehicle was parked and not in motion.
There is your worthless tidbit for the day. |

Re: Parking light help
Somebody replaced the head light switch with a 67. They don't work when the head lights are on.

Re: Parking light help
Just FYI, moving the park light wire to terminal 3 in the connector took care of my issue.
