Ive read in other threads that if the blinkers and stop lights work the its not the wiring thats bad its either a fuse or bulb. ???? also Million on that picture of the fuse box the number six fuse on my fuse box has only one terminal thing and the other is not there is this normal cause on my other harness its the same i also looked see if it was loose but theres nothing? .................. could some one send me a pic of their fuse box so i can see...and also what is that big white fuse looking thing that right by the blinker relays under the dash? thanks...

#6 is if you have duel fuel tanks .
It runs the tank switching solenoid.
Courtesy lights are those under the dash that light up when the door is opened or The dome light is turned on with turning the H/L switch.

I'm not positive on this... but I would think that the parking lights would get their power from the Headlight switch... I would think that the headlight switch would get power coming in and then distribute it from their... and being as none of the parking lights are working then your trouble is there. Do your headlights work?
