help with lights

none of my parking/licenseplate lights work but the turn signals/hazard lights work

did a quick check on the fuses under the hood didn't see anything that was out...

anyone have this problem before? or is there another spot where fuses are hidden.
also none of the bulbs are out

10 amp located left side of engine compartment and looking at the fuses doesn't always determine if it is good or bad. I would find the fuse 10 amp remove it and test it with an ohm meter or with a new 10 amp fuse.

If the fuse is blown, might just be a reason it is blown. You will know when you replace it!

Different fuse for turn indicators.

The turn indicators take a different fuse so they can work while the parking/license plate lights won't!
Good luck

Ditto that. The switch must be connected and functioning (even when turned "off") in order for the knob on the turn signal stalk to activate the parking lights.

Even if the parking light switch works (to turn on the parking lights without the key), if the "off" side of the contacts or wire connection has gone bad, then the lights won't turn on with the headlights knob.
