Topic: parking light relay.

[2utadud]

where is the parking light relay located at in the truck and what wire color is for the parking lights from the steering? i checked the fuse box for the relay and i saw 2 "clickers" there. 1 is the turn signal flasher and the 1 to the right of the flasher is a round head. not sure what it is. thanx

I would definitely say a model and year are a must for this question to be answered.  I too am interested, though, since my 1981 has no front parking lights, even with new bulbs.

You need to check your fluxcapacitor and blinker fluid.

  That park light relay is usually in the underhood relay/fuse block near the battery. Which relay is it? Good question.

 Even if the relay contacts are no good and you have no park lights whatsoever, you should still hear the relay click when the switch is turned to the ON position. If anything, you could turn on the lights and start pulling relays until you find the one that is on because it will click as you remove it.

 As for wire color from the column, even a good wiring diagram has been known to be wrong. I would just use a test light for that and verify that you have what you're looking for when you operate the switch. That would be the best place to start and go from there if you haven't found the problem. 

Good luck and hope you find the problem soon!

my truck is an '85 toyota 4x4 carbed. good advice. i did not think about turning on the lights and pull the relays one at time.  
i'll do that. is the relay for the parking lights different from the head lights or they are the same? thanx

They're different. Otherwise, the park lights and headlights would come on together instead of independently. Also the headlights usually are on their repsective own relay (left and right).
