Parking lights weirdness?
Hello all....have a strange situation...changed front parking lights to led's months ago with no problems...just noticed turning on lights (both positions) that parking lights are off and front marker lights too but rear marker and tail lights are on...not fuse because all those lights are on same fuse......loose connection somewhere? any ideas?
PS: I tried switching back to the oem bulbs and it's the same...they come on intermittently....is there any relay besides the fuse..need some feedback please......totally baffled on this one and electrical is not my strong point........
Update: .....issue resolved it was a bad relay

....man this is close to my issue last week, the only difference is that I would blow a fuse, but the rear markers & tail lights would still come on. My issue was a faulty parklight socket (front),I had crushed it somehow & the metal tabs inside were touching. You might try checking your sockets or a possible shortage in the connections, somehow the front park lights & front markers are connected, but separate from the tail lights...........go figure & they share the same fuse, at least that's what it says

I did track down the culprit...it was a faulty relay in the engine compartment...by the way Lexus wanted $93 for the relay, I got the relay at Kragen for $8
Job done......

Why the relay? Are they all connected to a fuse in passenger fuse box? Why one out and not the others? Without the schematic, it’s hard to say.

Appears the parking lights and front markers are on this relay in engine compartment on drivers side.....texsexlex is correct, they are apparently on this relay separate from the rear markers and tail lights...and I switched back the led parking bulbs and all is well....

As I recall it was CRA or Horn......can"t go wrong pulling and putting in new relay in the different 4 spots; sorry my old mind can't remember what I ate this morning, but for sure was one of 4 spots (Wash, Horn, a/c Comp or CRA)...should resolve your problem :-)
