Lighting problems (the first post didn't take)
Ok, this is getting frustrating. My lights are acting funky. If I switch to parking lamps, my city lights (I have Cefiro one piece headlights) don't come on, nor do the corner lights or the rear taillights. If I put on the headlights, the headlights work, but the rear taillights still don't. When I brake, the brake lights do come on (thank God). So, in essence, what's happening is that that I don't have the parking lights working correctly, nor do I have rear tails unless I'm breaking.
What's funny is that when I arm the alarm, the city lights and the rear lights light up correctly. This leads me to believe it's not a fuse. I don't think it's wiring either since it was all working up until yesterday. I cleared out my tails Saturday and everything was working fine, again, up until yesterday.
What I did do accidentally was replace a 1157 cornering bulb with an 1156. I didn't think that it would have mattered, only that one of the filaments wouldn't work correctly, but I think that may be the root of the cause. I have a gut feeling that the light stalk got whacked and isn't sending a signal properly.
Anybody have a spare stalk handy? I don't want to risk driving at night. Anybody else have any other suggestions?
Thanks.
