Default Help! Parking lamp problems

Okay, I am extremely tired right now so excuse me if I missed it during my search.

My parking lamps have never worked since I purchased my car. I thought it was the bulbs and I would get to them one day, BUT I did a resto on my drivers side housing today and while out I checked the bulb. It was good, so I checked the connector for power just to double check everything, and nothing. (from the harness side pigtail). I searched and searched for parking lamps and could not find a fuse, or wiring info on this.


Any ideas?


ALSO, side question. On the fuse box, is the sc300 and 400 kick panel boxes the same? Because I found a picture of my missing panel, and I do not have 3 of the fuse positions on lower rt. And one last question, why do I have an obd fuse port with no fuse, and power to the lead?


THANKS!

Ah, ok. Sorry, I speak spanish and in some cars the parking lights are not the same as those.
Did you test if the connector works? If you are putting led lights, you must know that they work only in one way, so try that too.

I started with a test light, then used a voltmeter on both sides (LH & RH) and it had zero power to either connector. Then I looked for blown fuses, and a parking lamp fuse, and nothing.

Thanks a ton.......

for everyone with this Issue, it was with the side marker diode issue. Replaced with proper diode, and all worked amazingly. PM me if you need the diode type and part number.
