Thread: Parking Lights - strange problem

OK all yhou electrical gurus, here is a strange problem that I hope you can help with.
The parking / tail lights on my '96 v8 auto don't work on the drivers side of the vehicle. Also the dash lights and the lights for the auto gear lever don't work nor do the tail lights in the trailer connection. I checked the fuse but that's OK and in anycase the pasengers side lights are fine.
My thinking is that somewhere there is a connector that supplies only the drivers side and dash/gear lever lights has a dirty connection but where do I start looking.
I have noticed over the past that sometimes the gear lever lights haven't been working properly, i.e the left light is OK but the right light will not illuminate.

Any suggestions.

Thanks Bee utey (and others) for your replies. yes you are correct. There are 2 fuses, one for each side and F8 is the one in question. Just shows that I should have done a search on the forum first and I would have discovered it without having to put the question out. What a fantastic source of help and information we have here on this forum. Thanks again.
I have replaced the fuse and all is back to normal again. That is until I plug in the caravan, and it blows again. Now if only I can find out the problem with the caravan wiring. but that is a whole different story.
