I have a 2003 GMC Envoy XL and the driver's side front parking and marker lights don't work although the signal light does. Both of the marker lights were blown and one of the prones in the parking lamp seemed to have been broken. I replaced the marker lamps and the driver's side parking lamps. The marker lamp on the passenger's side worked while neither the marker nor the parking lamps worked. I switched the two parking lamps and the passenger's side parking lamp still worked while the driver's side parking lamp and the marker still didn't work. I checked the front parking lamp fuse and the main fuse by replacing them with other fuses. I also cleaned the lamp connectors with electronic contact clearer. Also, I didn't find any burnt stains inside or outside of the connector. What can I do to fix the driver's side marker and parking lamps?

The first thing would be to test for power and ground at the wires going to the sockets, the most common reason for this is the sockets go bad inside.this is a complete unit, the main connector is where you would check for power first then go on to socket, most of the time the connector for the main power feed goes bad, it has a connector for all the wiring and then splits all wires to there location inside headlight asm. again testing with a testlight would be very helpful i think you will find a bad socket for each light out or the main connector on the headlight asm is bad. good luck. have a good day.

If you have a test light, you can check for power at the light sockets and connectors. If you have power, you can connect the alligator clip on the test light to the positive side of the battery and test for a faulty ground...Good luck!

2003 GMC envoy XL...tail lights work but brake lights will not work is it the brake light switch and how can I test it

ST/LP, Fuse 12, 25 Amp - feeds battery positive to brake switch ORN (orange) and out the WHT (white).

Test with a simple automotive incandescent test lamp to ground. Test lamp should light on both sides of the fuse and with contact to the switch ORN and to WHT while brake depressed.

I have a 2003 honda odessy and dash lights and tail light are not working! Please help?

Both are separate fuses, check them first. Dash lights are controlled threw the dimmer switch. Park lights threw the turn signal switch. If you have front marker lights, then the rear is a ground problem. Ground is at the body, in the back, on the drivers side. If no marker lights at all , replace the turn signal switch. If the fuse is good for the dash, replace the dimmer switch.

GMC Envoy 2003 SLT only the parking lights and fog lights work. The low beam and high beam don't work. Please help

Well, the problem is that I dont know the reason, you should investigate. There could be issues with lamps (must get new) or electricity problems (must head to auto-service)

When i hook my trailor's lights to my 2003 yukon xl, park lights doesnt work, but all other lights work

You mean the truck parking lights dont work, or the trailer running lights dont work? Does the trailer just have tail lights or does it have front and rear side markers? I think you mean the trailer lights. Check for power at the plug,(Brown Wire) if there is power, then you could have wiring problems, but a better description of what works and what doesnt work needs defining.
