there is a module in the fuse block that controls the lights, it has to be replaced to make the parking lights work, it's an easy fix but expensive since you have to replace the whole fuse block

Most of my lights don't work. The headlights work, the signals work, brake lights work, but when i turn on the lights nothing turns on but my headlights, nothing else. I took it in to Dodge, they told me i had to replace my fuse block. It was not covered by warranty. Basically every other electrical part is covered but that. I bought the truck used, and bought extended warranty, but apparently the warranty is useless. One question, how the hell does a fuse box go bad? I had it out myself and it is a sealed part, so you can't get inside. That is brutal. That is a defect, a fuse box is not a wear and tear part. This truck has other problems too, I don't think I'll buy another one.
