Dash & running lights are on the same circuit, find the short. (you don't have any light bulbs floating in water do you?)

first thing I would check would be the ground point for the taillights. If you take off the panel behind your spare tire it should be right there above the vertical body support (the one with the oval hole in it. Clean up the ground point and the terminal really well with some sandpaper and reattach.

Also pull both the rear PARKING lights and clean up the housings and sockets, and check the terminals on the back for corrosion. Make sure the bulb filaments are intact and not touching.

oaky i just tried all you said and non of it worked. what else do you think i can do? and thank you for helping me out man means alot

do the same thing but with the front bulbs. There are 2 grounds on the drivers side fender in front of the brake reservoir. 4 parking bulbs in all. Also check the headlights.

Does this happen only when you pull the switch all the way out? or when you switch it to parking lamps only as well?

My dash lights dont work. Im having a hard time too. Ive gotten help on here but still cant get it to work lol. I say follow your wires out of that fuse and look for the short. check your fuses under the hood, and try to find your grounds.

might sound dumb but did you just try turning the headlight *** to make them brighten like your trying to turn on the cab light?

what were you doing when they suddenly stopped working?
