    I searched the threads and was not able to see the same problem. When I turn on my lights, the rear parking lights do not go on. The parking lights on the drivers side work, but the passenger side does not. I checked the fuses, bulbs and the relays, but they all seem ok. What can be the problem?

    If it is a problem with the ground, would that be at the battery or someplace else? The brake lights work fine, just the parking lights are not working.

    Try to check contacts, maybe there is some dirt or oxidation. Buy some spray for electric contacts and spray it all over the connectors.You have to do it few times and wait minute between. I had similar problem with one tail light and this helped.

    Had a similar issue on my 550 with the reversing lights. Thought it was the gearbox switch which was dead, but it turned out to be a bad contact with a wire harness in the fuse box.

    I will try using contact cleaner, but I doubt that is the problem. If it was a loose connection, wouldn't all of the parking lights stop working?

    Check the bulbs and fuse with an ohm meter. They can appear good but actually be failed. Note: this is more likely to happen in the bulbs than fuses.

    If they are al good, check for voltage at the socket. Use the motor as a ground point. Then check it across the socket. That will tell you if you have a ground problem or no power.

    Let me know the results and I will make a suggestion about the next steps. This too can be solved.
