Hello, my parking light fuse in my car blows each time i put in a new one and turn on my parking or headlights. My headlights, highbeams and fog lights work and come on just fine but I have no rear parking lights at all, however when I press the brake the lights light up as they're supposed to. My reverse, signal, and hazard lights work fine. Need some help, only problem I've had with this car

If you blow a fuse all the time, there has to be a short. Try disconnecting the headlight switch to see if it still blows a fuse. If it does, the short is before the switch. If not, it is after.

Let me know what you find.
