Clearance markers not working

Ok my clearance markers are not working, the side markers that is on the front and rear, however the front and rear markers are working.
I searched through the archives and did not find a similar problem.
I checked my hazzard fuse and turn fuse, just incase changed them both still no good.
Is there another cause for this...
Icemark?

do you mean the parking lights, or turn signals???

and you did check the fuses and light switch right??? you know the light switch has a tendency to burn out (as covered in the FAQ for FC at the top of this section) if the parking light bulbs are not properlly maintained.

well the lights on the side of the car like on the fenders, not the front in the bumper or the rear round one with the brake lights but the ones on the fenders.

okay... maybe a little more basic... There are parking lights, these are the lights that come on when the light switch is moved to the first position, and include 5 watt bulbs in the front bumper lights, on each fender and the rear brake lights.

Then there are turn signals... These turn on when using the hazard light switch and turn signal switch, and are 35 watt bulbs in the front bumper and rear yellow lights.

Now which ones are not working?

It appears as if you did not understand my break down of the two.

But if the turn signal lights are not working and you have checked the fuses, then I would be looking at the CPU.

If it is just one bulb, then check to see if the bulb is burnt put. On the american spec cars these are dual filament single bulbs.

I think you are misunderstanding my question,

the front turn signals on the bumper below the FTP's and the rear yellow turn signal's on each side of the break lights (S5) work.

The parking lights situated on the fenders orange in the front and red in the rear work with the light switch on, however these do not flash with the signal lights.

The question is, do the parking lights on their respective sides flash with the signal lights?
For instance, if the left turn signal is on would the side markers (parking lights) on the front (orange) and rear (red) flash along with them or not?

the parking lights on each fender do not flash as a turn signal light.

well its pretty simple, there are only two wires going to the parking lights on each fender... pretty hard for less than three wires to make it flash.
