hello, my rear parking lights and rear quarter panel marker lights dont work, (brake lights work, directionals work, reverse lights work) bulbs are good and properly installed (2057 and 194) just no power to the rear section of the parking lights, i dont see any fuses that control them. what else should i be checking? thanks

TE72?
Rust under windshield driver bottom corner?
If yes to both then most likely burnt trace in fuse box. Happen to me personally 4 times. I see others with this problem all the time. Dont know why buts its always the parking light circuit. First click on the combo switch. You can change the fuse box but will burn again if water keeps dripping. Happen to me also. I hardwire and bypass burnt trace.

yes there is rust there and im going to attack this fuse box, have you Siliconed anything to make this stop? is this mounted behind that plastic kick panel where there the speaker is on driver side? (hopefully) nice and low for easy removal. thanks

Honestly dont know how to stop the leak.
Drivers side kick panel. The fix involves hard wiring the flasher so it dangles from the box but I forget exactly how I did it, been a while maybe 8 years since I did it last.
Usually hard wire repair lasts longer then replacing fuse box.

thankyou, i will focus on the fuse box next, sounds about right with the rust gathering in that corner.
