Parking lights won't come on

Is there a fuse soemwhere for the parking lights? I have the RE Sleek Headlight conversion and like an idiot I was messing around trying to get a broken light bulb out with the lights on (one of the small bulbs at the bottom of each hella lamp). It seems like I blew a fuse but I sure can't find one. I don't think I shorted it long enough to burn up a wire.

Where should I look?

Thanks for the help guys.


Oh yeah the headlights, turn signals, etc all work still.

I think that's the TNS circuit (tail, number, stop). There is a fuse for it - just start checking them all. Mazda sometimes puts things on circuits that don't sound like they would control that function, so just check 'em all. Shouldn't take much time to go through them.

If you check the Owner's Manual, it has a diagram of the fusebox (it's the one in the kickpanel, to the left and above the footrest).

IIRC, the parking lights are on the same fuse as the dash backlights and a few other things. Check (using the owner's manual diagram) the other items. If they all don't work, it's the fuse. If they do work, it's your lights, the light-specific wiring, etc.

found it. They are on the 15amp "tail" fuse in the box by the kickpanel. The weird thing is the fuse didn't blow in the middle in a way that was easy to see. I had already looked there but didn't pull them all out. I just went out and did that and wouldn't ya know.

Weird that my tail lights and rear brake lights still worked.

Anyway, it's fixed, thanks guys.
