Default Front parking lights NO GO

Looking over my 96 DISCO with fine tooth comb and i noticed the front parking lights don't come on. Checked fuses - OK. Rear lights and turn signals ( front, rear, sides) function just fine. Also noticed the fog lights do not work either. WTF. I hate this car. I'm not giving up on it yet. I've only had it for 3 weeks and i've got a to do list longer than any vehicle i've ever owned. Did i mention that i hate this car?

Have you checked the bulbs to see if they are good.
Are you turning the fog lights on when your low beams are on?
I would recheck the fuses, one for the fog light and one for the parking lights.
If you want any more help on this site you will can the "WTF" crap for be removed from here.
If you hate the truck, I would suggest you sell it.

Double checked fuses- OK. The bulbs are fine; they function fine when i activate turn signals, they don't light up as parking lights however. Just to double check, i put new bulbs in with the same result - No parking lights but functioning turn signals. As for the fog lamps, they do not work on lo or hi beam. What's next?

I don't have alot of electrical information on the lights. I know there are separate left and right fuses and the right side lights also power the radio in my D2. I am wondering if there is another fuse that you , may have missed that could then explain the radio issue in that maybe the amp is power from that fuse.
Wish I could be of more help, maybe one of our D1 owners can help.

Thanks for the info Mike. I will go over the fuses again and look into the radio issue for being a potential trouble spot. I'll keep you up to date.
