Quick question: Parking Lamp Wires
Red = ?
Green = ?
Blk = ?
Problem: When wanting to use turn signal it comes on. But when turning on my head lamps only driver side corner will come on. The reason my passenger side corner got this way was because I before had other corners and the passenger side was exposed "kind-of" due to an accident. So rain would possibly get/did frie the wire that makes the parking lamp stay on. Does this theory sound right?
Question: Beginning of post which wire is which? Also do you think this is correct way to fix my problem. Going to check fuse tomm.
TIA, DixieR3dneck

Well, what type of car is it? I checked my manual, and it lists different colors. Do you have a multimeter? You can get one very cheap and figure out if the wires aren't working properly. I'm assuming black should be ground, but that's as close as I can get you without being there.

Thanks guys. Yes I have a multimeter. Also would the ground wire be the one that makes the parking lamp come on with the head lamps?

huh?
- ground always shows (-)
- red/black parking shows (+) when parking lights and headlights are on, (-) when off
- green shows (+) when blinking, (-) when not
