I have one of them. I tested everything honestly. Grounds, power wire, shorts, nothing is found wrong.

This plug right here behind the gauge cluster and I had to pull the dash to fix the burnt wires and wiring mess the PO did. This fixed my problem.

I know also you were right about the bulb causing my park lights to gladf with the left turn signal. That's how the plug was I ran all new wires and got rid of that inline tap (blue thing on the red wire)

Glad you figured it out. It's hard to find problems caused by other peoples stupidity. That plug isn't where you'd look for the problem you had.

Well thought I had it fixed, it isn't. It's in that plug (Joint Connector A) because when I jump pin #10 to pin #4 it causes the problem. If I remove the factory way if connecting all the pins it won't do the problem just nothing dims when park lights are engaged.

I have the exact same issue. Did you just remove the factory connections and put on a different connector?
