Kinda near the air box/left headlamp there is a harness plug for the front lighting system. Could be a crappy connection in the front parklamp circuit.

Im having the same issue with my 88 Laredo... I thought they were supposed to be on as marker lamps, but only come on as turn signal and flashers... still passes inspection on lights that way... but it is wierd.

Check for power at the sockets themselves. Work your way back as freegdr suggests if you find no power. I looked in a wiring diagram and ther is a common connector near the airbox behind the left headlamp.

I'm gonna bump this up as I'm having the same problem except mine is limited to the passenger side. Driver side lights up and flashes for blinker like normal, pass. side flashes for blinker but not running light. My pass. rear brake light is doing the samething, lights for brake but not running. Swapped bulbs, fuse#7, nada.
