Hi All,

I have just noticed both my park lights don't work. I had an issue with a head light about 1 month ago and changed the bulb so had to disconnect the indicators and park lights to remove the trim, head light etc. Put all back together and headlights worked - I didn't check the parkers.

Head lights (and spotties) are on a Traxide loom. Those and the indicators work.

Any ideas?

checked the fuse?

I assume you only removed one side to fix the headlight?

Are park lights on their own fuse? I assumed they were on the same as the blinkers. I'll check that.

Regarding removing one side, I changed both globes and kept the working globe as a spare.

So I checked the fuses on the weekend and they are all working.

I'm at a bit of a loss now. Anyone else had the both park lights stop working

Do you have 12v power at the plug on the back of the light fitting?
D you have 12v on the prong when you remove the globe from it's housing?
I had a brake / tail do a similar thing, it turned out to be corrosion in the plug
from water ingress through a crack in the lense. The bulb was blown, but
looked fine looking through the lense. I ended up replacing all of them with
an LED kit.
