Parking lights not working! help! :(

When i turn on my parking lights nothing lights up rear and front (exterior). Hazards still works, and when turn ignition "ON" or start the car, the turn signals work both left and right. and when unlocking/locking my car the lights does not flash at all.

Anyone know what could be the problem?? Help please, i cant drive at night w/o the rear lights.

Low beams still works

I checked the fuses. maybe i must have missed the fuse i need to replace? Anyone know the Exact location of the parking light fuse, i can't seem to find it or on the label of the fuse cover.

Thank you!

Fixed!: it was the "Tail" fuse after all, driver side. Thank You aznstylez and bobflood for your help!

The fuses are on the driver side and under your hood. Also check your light bulbs.

Do you happen to know what fuse for the parking light? or what abbreviation i should be looking for on the label? i checked/looked at "headlights" fuses and all still good. maybe relay?

Look for a fuse marked "Tail." There is also probably a taillight relay that you should check. Finally, there could be an issue with the light switch itself.

Thank you for your response,

I looked at that earlier this morning and fuse is not blown. im not sure where the taillight relay is at (i read the label on cover but did not find taillight relay or something similar) do you happen to know where that relay is located?
and the light switch, stalk?, works when i turn to parking lights, the dash radio, climate light turn on. its just the exterior parking lights not working. i forgot to mention, the brake light not working either

I have a similar problem. The front parking/marker lights do not turn on. The rear lights do though. The front turn signals work, hazzards, and they flash when i use the keyless entry.

The TAIL 10A fuse is ok, and i just replaced the bulbs.

Any other suggestions?

Sounds like the filament for the parking lights are burnt out, but the turning signal filaments still work. Try replacing the bulbs.

I have replaced both parking light bulbs, they were burned out. But the original problem is still there. The turn signal lights ( between the headlights and the grill ) do not turn on when i turn the parking/marker lights.
