No Parking Lights

i just noticed last night that none of my parking lights work... i turn the switch on, and nothing, the headlights work fine, the turnsignals, and the brakelights... but all 4 of the parking lights arent on, neither is the license plate light or the dash lights..... im guessing its a fuse...? where would i look for it?

If it's not the fuse it probably is your combo switch.

I had the same thing happen on an old Accord of mine and that was the problem.

The headlamps run on a separate relay- its the fuse in the kick panel (on mine). When the same fuse blows on mine, those lights do not work and the automatic transmission will not shift from Park. Mine blows when towing a trailer with a short. Anyway, I hope it's just the fuse.
Good luck

yup it was a fuse... i just started pulling them out one by one... and the last one i checked was gone.... i think i found out why it was gone too.... there was a orange wire hanging down by the left front wheel... well i traced it over teh firewall, and its tapped into the r/f parking light.....

That is where the "profesional" installer usualy taps in for fog lights. Except the local "pro's" did a lousy job on my girlfriends 95 Runner. The fog lights quit working last week, and I traced it back to a half crimped tap up in the left front parking light.
