Parking lights not working
Ive got a problem with my parking lights, If i pull the switch out halfway, the light will not come on but if I bring it out to the point just before the headlights come on and wiggle it around a bit to hit just the right spot they will come on. When I pull the switch all the way out to the point the heqdlights come on then the parking lights go back out.Ive done the tests with an ohm meter to test the switch and it seems to be just fine. Im quite stumped on this one.

Parking lights not working
It takes very little contact area for an ohms reading. Its entirely possible that it is not enough contact area to conduct current. With the information you have given I would have already installed a switch. Since you know which wires on the switch do what function you could check the circuit by jumping from the power supply terminal at the harness to the park light feed terminal and lights should be on.
