2003 Sierra (No Front Parking Lamp)

[SmileB44Death]

Dear, TahoeYukonForum

I currently have a 2003 Sierra SLE. The problem I'm having is the front park lamp fuse keeps breaking. The front park lamps work for turn signals; however, the running light itself does not work, and when I manually turn the light switch to turn them on, I can hear the fuse pop.

sounds like time to check for shorts. seems like a wire in the low/dim side of the bulb is grounded out somewhere and when you feed it power it is shorting it out.

Your underhood fusebox layout should look something like below. Which (named) fuse is blowing when you turn on the light switch?

Are you turning it to full headlights, or just the parking lights position?

Thanks for the reply it's the "FRT PARK" that blows every time I turn to park lamp position. I've seen someone with a similar problem and it ended up being the relay. Could I use another relay from the fusebox to test the "PARK LP" relay

yes you could try one to see if it fixes the issue then replace it if it works, if not easy to move on to the next step in diagnosis
