Parking lamp and side marker problems - please help!

hugh.ragland · 10-03-2009

I've got a 1971 Opel GT with electrical problems. Recently, my driver's side parking lamps and side markers stopped working. The headlights both still work and all the passenger side lights still work properly.

The driver's side lights come on when I apply the brakes and turn on the left turn signal. I can't figure out where the problem is. Has anyone else had this problem? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help!

sounds like a short somewhere did you check the wiring and the grounds

The right hand side parking lamp circuit and left hand side parking lamp circuit are on separate fuses. I would check these fuses first.

This did the trick...turns out a fuse had fallen out. Works fine now...only wish all car problems were this easy to solve. Thanks to everyone who responded!
