Default is my Disco supposed to have front marker lights?

Never even paid attention until tonight. Is my 98 Disco supposed to have front markers or do the corner lenses and fender lights only function as turn signals?

Sorta - the corner is a turn signal, the mid side light is a turn signal, and there is a lower side light down around bumper level on the side that is lit as a marker. On 2nd position of light stem, the front head lights come on with a smaller bulb, which is on a separate lamp base in the head light. On position 3, you get the full headlight bulb.

Ok cool so that clears up a bit. Would you mind telling me which fuse is for the markers and where its located. The small markers front and back don't work nor do the ones in the headlamps. All I have are the tail lamps, brake lights, turn signals and headlamps.

On a side note my foglights don't work either, they pop a 10a fuse under the dash and the "sidelights" fuse under the hood the second I hit the switch. Gotta love the electrical system in these things.

From the RAVE electrical troubleshooting manual, which is separate from the workshop manual, it appars that you have lots of fuses that have soemthing to do with this:

under the dash: F2, 4, 5, 8,10, 11

under hood in main fuse box - F2

Cool thanks got them figured out. Turns out there's power to all of the markers, the lenses and sockets are full of water though and all other kinds of crap so a good cleaning is in need. Picked up all new bulbs and a bunch of fuses so hopefully I can get things squared away. For some reason having good fog light bulbs causes everything to go nuts so those will probably be removed entirely. Had blown bulbs ever since we bought it and no electrical problems, the second we put good bulbs in the fog lamps it blows the fuse for the dash lights/tail lamps and the fogs dont work. Wouldnt even know where to begin troubleshooting them and H3 bulbs and fuses get pricey quick when they keep blowing.
