Turn signals, backup, flashers, brake lights all work, but no parking or tail lights.I've replaced bulbs, and light switch. The lights come on automatically at night, but sometimes lights will go out for a few seconds

If the parking lights are inop have you checked to see if the parking lights fuse is blown and made sure you have power to both sides of the fuse?

I found the problem myself.
It was a bad parking lamp relay.
Thanks for the suggestions though.
