Default headlight switch problem

ok so i have had an issue with the parking lights since i have owned it. when you turn the headlight switch to the parking lamp position nothing lights up however when you put it full on everything lights up also everything lights up with the twilight centinel.

replaced switch today and it does the exact same thing and fuses look fine what else is the too look for?

How does the connector look? Not warped or melted?

I'm going to assume you replaced it with a known good switch?

I'm not sure what else to look for Steve. Someone around here should have a FSM for you.

About the only other thing I could think of that might cause that would maybe be a corroded 2 filament socket, I could be wrong though.
