    Parking Lights Problem

    So... I recently got some taillights. But that's a different story. I go to put them on... and the parking lights stop working. So I arm the alarm... the lights flash like they should. Then I disarm it and they stay on for 20 seconds, like they should. Then they work when I drive to get something to eat. Next thing I get home, and they don't work again. I have a 93 LX by the way.

    So here is what I have confirmed-
    1) No blown fuses (I checked them all... and besides the lights would not work with the alarm if there was a blown fuse.
    2) Headlights work fine. Turn Signals Work Fine. High Beam Switch Works Fine.
    3) It is not the alarm somehow affecting the lights since I took the fuse out of the alarm power and the same thing happened.

    The only thing I can figure out is that there is somehow an intermittent short in the stalk where the headlight/turn signal switch is and it is only affecting the parking lights. Again I say... WTF?!

    ANy other alternate theories? Anyone?

    Yes, Someone's stealing the light from your globes, you can't trust no bastard these days, especially them little Mexicans.

    Seriously though You may have worked it out yourself by suggesting the Headlight Switch. An intermittant open circuit in the Headlight Switching could be the culprit and it's not that uncommon. Just recheck the Grounds for the Lighting Circuit first though.

      Well... Local Honda Dealer Got 30 Dollars Of My Money...

      Well... I went out and bought a new switch, took the old one out and put the new one in and now... same problem. No frigging parking lights. F22 Please help me again dude... I need some help. I know its not the ground, because then they wouldn't work with the alarm... right? What about a relay? And by the way... is the (DAY LIGHTS) fuse for parking lights....

      Shit.
