Hello,

The parking light fuse is located under the hood in the power distribution center fuse box (see diagram below).
It should be fuse number 11, which is a 15A fuse.

If the fuse if good, then the issue is likely a bad wire. Which will require tracing of the wires to find the short or a bad ground.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have attached wiring schematics below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
