07 Parking lights won't work
Im beginning to think that I need a whole forum dedicated to my trucks wiring issues 
... I finally got my reverse lights to work but my newest issue Is that while driving tonight i lost power to my parking lights, my instrument cluster lights, and my heat control lights... everything still works inside (gauges all act properly but they won't light up) and i still have turn signals and brake lights, and headlights. I really don't know where to start with this one. I don't have an owners manual so i can't figure out what fuses to check or what relays to look at. does anybody have any experience with this? i could really use some help
It is a 2007 f350 diesel

You can also go to autozone's site and see what they have. The last time I looked they only went up to 2005 but you can check and see if it's the same as a 2007. Or they may have updated by now and may have a 2007. Just register and go to "vehicle repair guides" on the right side of the page above the advertisement. Their diagrams are very good for 2000-up trucks.

Look the truck over carefully. Look for any other added lights or messed up trailer wiring at the rear bumper or for a gooseneck/5th wheel hitch wiring.
Exactly what number fuse is blowing and in which fuse box? I still only have 2005 diagrams but maybe they are the same.

The fuse is located inside fuse box under and to the left of steering wheel. Don't have a manual, on the fuse box cover it says to refer to manual for fuse identity, when I can I will cut rows from left to right,and bottom up, to get u location or get pic. I know it's blue 15amp above a yellow 20 amp just left of center, about in center or just under centet, headlights work ,turn, brake ,radio, cig lighter , what don't work is , dash,tail ,marker, lights.I did notice right marker light the bulb is melting through the plastic reflector in front head light assembly, it was like that when I bought it. It's no worse now than it was. Just odd that it all worked after I replaced light switch, for short time.it seems like it happens if it's driven for over an hr or 2, with the exception 2 days of driving it home from Oklahoma. OH I think it's like me it doesn't like the cold and it's lettinge know that.

Autozone does have 2007 now. You should really go there and hunt around, they have a lot of info on there. Here's a diagram of the fuse box under the dash. The fuse box inside the cab is called the "central fuse box" and the one out under the hood is called the "battery fuse box".
