My left side parking lights don't work, & yes,the fuse is good.

Any ideas?

And the bulbs...? If the turn signals work on that side, the grounds are there. Check for power at the sockets and work your way back.

You may have broken wires somewhere along. I would check harness first. My parking lights wires were broken off at the harness on both sides of it, the one right of the airbox.

Well,its been a month of riding to work @ 4:30 am with my foot on the brakes so I have taillights.
It turned out to be the (101?) plug,the one in front of the airbox.

Adam,you hit the nail.

I'm glad I could help since I found a lot of useful info here.

Right after that my headlights went out, also wires were broken off inside its insulation where they go into the same harness so it looked ok but wire inside was broken.
