Front Parking Lamps
 
I have been a member here for a few years but do not post very often. But I have a question. It is my understanding that certain base model trucks did not have front parking lights, only turn signals. Is there a way to determine if my truck came equipped with parking lights? The pigtails and bulbs are there but??? It's a 96 extended cab 2 wd.

Regards,
Junk

Check the light bulb sockets. If they have 2 contacts for double filament bulbs then they had parking lights. Possibly the wrong bulbs were installed at one time.

The front sockets have 2 contacts and I've replaced all the bulbs. Fuses are good??? No loose or broken wires. No loose or missing wires in the fuse block that I can determine.

Did you put in double filament bulbs like a 3157? Just to be sure check with a meter to be sure there is no voltage going to the contacts to the sockets. If not, trace the wire back to the switch. The switch could be the problem.

3157's all new. Switch is new...
