My headlights work but my marker lights dont, what could cause this? Replace light switch and a lighting relay under the hood.

Did you test availability of power supply?

Attached are the schematic of the lights. Check the fuses as shown. Get a test lamp to check for powe supply, a DVOM to test continuity.

Witch one of them or all of the power supplies. They just quit working over night after I parked it.

Checked them all a cou[ple of times and they are all good, tried wiggling the wiring harness under the dash but they still dont work. Looked for a possible short and still found nothing. Thanks for you help and the diagrams.

Get a test lamp or DVOM. A test lamp would be easier for now.

At switch, test the Red/Green wire for battery voltage.
If voltage is available, test the Red/Black Wire for battery voltage.
If voltage is not available, test fuse # 32 for battery voltage at both ends of fuse. If battery voltage is available, there is an open circuit between the fuse and head light switch.
