Parking Light issue

Post by johnsoc2 »

I have a 69 Camper Special/390/Auto and probably the original wiring. My problem is lights. Everything works but the parking lights. Just turning the parking lights on I get the front two...full pull on the light switch and the fronts go off???
I also do not have working Four-Way flashers if that matters.
Thanks in advance!

That's the way it was on the 67-9 F-series trucks; from 70-72 the lights stayed on with the headlights. You may need a new emergency light flasher, it's behind the RH side of the cluster.

You can add a jumper wire at your headlight switch between your Parklight and taillight terminals. That would allow your parklights to come on with your headlights and otherwise work like a normal setup.
