I have a problem with my right side parking light/turn signal. With lights off, the parking light and signal work. With the lights on, the turn signal still works, but the parking light does not. The turn signal indicator stays on with lights on. I have replaced the fuse, turn signal flasher, and circuit breaker. What can I do to fix this.
Thanks

Hi:
This is a tricky one to repair. Somewhere in the electrical, when you pull the headlight switch on, rather than power going to the park light, it's backfeeding to the interior signal light. This is usually caused by a ground problem. The only way to find it is to start at the tail light and work forward. Also, before you go crazy with the wiring, try replacing the light socket for the park and signal lights. The socket itself may be bad.

Let me know what you find.
