My parking lights, dashlights, electric seat, and electric trunk dont work? I'm assuming it's a bad ground. Where do I start and where do I end?

These are all different circuits. So they'll all have their own fuses also. But just because the fuses are good, there can still be a bad connection at the back of the fuse box itself.

Also, you'll need a wiring diagram for your vehicle to check any of these circuits. Theres a dashboard wiring harness that all of the wires for the circuits you've named will run through. When you have several different circuit problems at once, then it usually originates at a point in the system where they all come together.

The only places that will happen for these particular circuits are at the fuse box and the dashboard wiring harness. And this will usually be a corroded/broken connector.
