Parking Lights

I have searched the forum and read 10 pages with no luck. THis one is different! I have a 2000 F-150 Lariat 4X4. The parking lights quit working. when you turn the switch to the parking light position, the headlights come on. The brights will not work unless you turn the **** to the headlight position. All the other lights seem to be working as well as the chime. Anyone have any ideas?

I would recomend testing the headlight switch with a self powered test light or an OHM meter.

Sounds like you have a bad switch, I had the same problem when I owend my Ford Ranger I replaced it and it was fine after that. My problem was I able to turn on my parking lights but the headlights wouldnt come on. Just go to a junkyard and try to find a light switch. Hope this helps

Hey guys, do you think this was related to the fog lamp mod I did? It has been over a year since I did it, and its been working fine. But if i have to get another switch, I would like to do the mod on that one as well. but not if it caused the problem. Dave, It looks like this is going to be a dealer item. i dont think they sell anything at the dealership for 20 bucks. unless they sell water. are you sure about that 20 buck thing? my guess is aroud 80
