did you do corner light rewire or something?

this happened to me too (at night!). yes you blew a fuse. the appropriate fuse box is the knee panel one. pull oout the cover and you should see a list (on the inside of the cover) of fuses in the box: "cig lighter", "bose audio", "cornering", "tail lamp", etc. okay you get the point. pull out those corresponding fuses and replace them with a new one. sometimes the fuses can be blown even though they still look and test okay. if you did a rewiring of some sort, you have overloaded the circuit. in this case, replace the fuses with ones that have higher amps. 15 or 20 amps should be high enough. good luck. ask if you have anymore questions.

here is a picture of what each fuse does
I've posted it before but I guess you couldn't find it when you searched for it =)

Does anyone here know anything about relays? I think you could probably use one and allow the corners to use their normal circut and just be switched by the circut that the parking ligts are on.
