Hi,

The first thing to check is the fuse for the right parking lamps. See pic 1. When you check the fuse, make sure there is power to and from it. Note: Power will only be present when the lights are turned on.

If that is good, then I need you to check for power at the light assembly. There is a green wire to the lamp assembly that powers the parking lamp. See if there is power to it. See pic 2 below.

Try these things and let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe

Note: If the front right parking lamps work, the fuse isn't the problem so move to the rear lamp wiring testing. Pic 3 shows the fuse location.
