So i was just finishing some stuff up with the swap, and for some reason my parking lamps and interior dash lights are not working. The headlights turn on fine which is weird. Checked every fuse in my fuse box, all are good. I noticed to the "dinging/chime" is not going on to when the headlights are on or door is open.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

every fuse is good, im 100 percent positive. There is more than one relay for the dash lights, parking lights ect, which rules out the relays, and a ground, i haven't touched any in the car when i was doing the swap.


BUMP.


Does anyone know if its possible that my headlights could still be working even if the switch is bad?

It could very well be a bad headlight switch. Other than that, check the connections at the PCM.

connections at the pcm are fine. When i lock my car, my parking lights flash, and now they dont. They flashed after i did the swap but for some reason they stopped working (parking lights stopped), along with my dash lights.

just hooked up my battery again. My highbeams and low beams work, turn signals and hazards, brake lights all work. What doesnt work is: parking lights, dash lights and the chime.

Any idea?

It's probably the headlight switch.

My car had a aftermarket keyless entry with a remote start and the company that installed it was horrible. If you had touched anything where the connections were just slightly i would get the same problem you are having.
