Default Parking lights out

First I'd like to say hey to everyone, Im new to the Forum. I'm having an issue i just cannot figure out. My rear Driver side tail light is out. I replaced the bulbs and there aren't any blowen fuses. The break, reverse and signal lights all work fine. All other lights work fine when theswitch for the lights is all the way turned on.When the switch is set to parkinglights which is the middle setting. Thattail light still doesn't work but now the front drivers side parking light doesn't workbut the signal does? This is for a Quad cab 2002 ram. Anyone have any suggestions???

Swap out the parking light relay in the fuse box under the hood. About a $7 part at auto parts store or $9 at the dealer...

Also check fuse #15 (50amp) in the power distribution center under the hood. Oh, and welcome to the forum.

I would think that if it was a that 50 amp fuse then both tail lights would be out, but who knows its worth a shot anyways. Thanks everyone for the replys

I HAD The Same Problem.

Mine Started Intermittent, Then Eventually Just Failed
It Ended Up Being The Actuall Ballas (No CLue How To Spell That) That Holds The Bulb. The Contacts Were Corroded On The Backside. Look At The Connections, I Simply Cleaned The Connections and It Worked.
