I have changed the dorman circuit boards and pigtails for both brake lights as both were past their prime; however the problem is still present.

So do only the dash lights go out or is it your parking lights go out also?

The easiest thing to do is when the lights are inop check for power and ground to the parking light blub.Lets see what is missing the power or the ground.We will go from there.
