[Page Britt]

Bill,

Checked ours also and they work as you describe, thanks for that insight! One less thing on the list.

Curt:

My rear parking lights did not work recently either.

I would think that your circuit is similar to the FC. On the disc that I sent you, you will find a schematic called " Security Lighting".
This schematic will show you the layout. One thing which is not on the schematic, is the transmission selector gear switch.

In order for the rear parking lights to work:

1. switch on dash has to be "on", blue light should come on
2. transmission has to be in reverse.

Before you go through a lot of trouble, does your rear parking lights come on when you put your security lights on? If yes, then I would look forward to the transmission selector switch. If no, then I would look at the lights first.

John Reynolds and I took each one of mine apart, and neither one was making a good ground, as well as my relay was not seating properly.
I now have lots of additional light when backing up.

Good luck
