Tail Lights / Parking Lights
<<88 Convertible, Stock>>
Hey hey,
I know, I know -- I searched.
They aren't working. My brake lights, hazards, turn signals, dash lights and reverse lights all work. My parking lights (front, tail, sidemarker, license plate) all do not work.
I searched and came up with: fuse, switch, or ground.
I checked the fuse -- it (Illumination) was blown. I replaced it, nothing changed at all. I checked the grounds, they appear to be fine. I tried jumping the wires off the light switch harness to eachother to get the parking lights to light -- nothing. All the others worked, but I can not get anything to make the parking lights light up. From what I gather, they share the same bulb as the brake lights so they aren't blown, or am I mistaken? (and what would blow like 10 light bulbs at once anyways?)
This happened this morning, I went to go to work (I usually drive w/ my parking lights on) and I noticed the parking lights weren't lit up. I investigated after work and here I sit. Stumped. No changes to any sort of wiring or anything were done, they were working the night before and then just decided they didn't feel like working this morning.
Thanks in advance,
Eric

The light switch is kaput if the fuses are goodl
Do a Search using as a name ICEMARK and the item as LIGHT SWITCH.
https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...0&d=1205840579
Or look at the diagram above and you can see if you jumper the white/green wire to the red/black wire the tail lights, side lights etc should light up. If they do, the small light harness is bad or the switch is bad. You can figure out which.
Or if you simply page down to the bottom of this page, there is a list of similar problems. Look at them and ......read.
