C2 Parking Lights

[James H.]

On my 1966 Corvette my dash panel lights, and parking lights do not come on. I have turn signals and brake lights.

I've replaced the fuses and the headlight switch. I've also replaced all the bulbs. The left front parking light socket is worn. I'm wondering if that's the problem.

Or am I missing something else?

Jim, Take a closer look at the headlamp switch wire harness connector, and make sure that you don't have any bad connections, sometimes the plastic around the connector melts and is a sure sure sign that it got hot. and the terminal end take the heat, sometimes by just wiggling the connector and having someone watch the lamps you may see the lamps flicker.

The light switch I believe feeds the fuse for the dash lamps and park lamps when the headlamp switch is turned on.

Edward,

Thank you! That's something obvious that I should have looked at when I put the new switch in. I'll check that out.
