European Parking Lights Say on Left Side, 3 fuses fell out when reaching for hood release Options

[Grump]

While at gas station 4 days ago, I reached in to release the hood to fill the tank. I grabbed the fuse panel and 3 fuses fell out. I was a block from home so I waiting until I got home to put them back in.

I didn't pay attention to what fuses they were. After putting them back in, I noticed the left side parking lights were on. The turn lever was in the neutral position. The right side works as it should. Turn signals and hazard flasher work as they should. I have a good schematic thanks to Jeff but I lack the ability to troubleshoot this #5 fuse circuit.

I don't necessarily need this "feature" and can just leave the fuse out, but it worked before and I would like to have it back to normal. I reenacted my motions, dropped the fuse panel and inspected it closely for short or grounds, dropped and changed the headlight switch and hazard switch. After 3 days I've gone as far as I can without some help.

Looking for help from those who may of had a problem with this circuit. It's getting 12V from somewhere. It's a 75..

Thanks. Bill

Bill,
Yes, there should be continuity between 30 and 30b. The wire that now goes to 30b and on to fuse 5 is wrong. The wire that goes from the headlight switch to fuse 5 should be coming from 58L. Did you understand my post on reading the prints? I can give you a call and coach you if needed, just let me know., and PM me your number. That headlight switch contact 30b goes to the headlight motors. What wire currently goes to the contact 58L? I think that is where your problem lies. Find it and put it on 30b and the wire currently on 30b to 58L and try that.

Thanks Tom. I'm trying to learn how to read this diagram. My wiring just doesn't follow it. I have a grey wire from 58L to fuse 5, thats ok except it should be gry/blk. This black/blue from 30b to fuse 5 doesn't show but it has been there and all was working except headlights, which I haven't hooked up yet. I don't have a grn/blk that should go to 30b.

I disconnected the wire and I still have turn and flashers, just no parking. My Euro parking lights work on the right side but not on the left. I don't need these but I would like all to be working as designed.

If there is continuity as you say between 30 and 30b, my switch is not the problem. Looks like I'll have to be satisfied with leaving this wire disconnected and see what happens when I hook up the headlights. I may need to run a wire from 30b to the headlight relays.

What my thick head can't understand is, that all was working fine as it was and now this wire is causing the left side parking light to remain on. There has to be a cause other than it just doesn't belong there.

This wire had the same connections as the rest of the factory wiring. It was run in the bundle which contains the wires for the hot side of the fuse panel. It was in the middle of this bundle, was stitched and wrapped with the others. If added, I doubt if someone would go to this trouble to disguise it. Maybe it belongs elsewhere. Hopefully it will all get sorted out. Regards.. Bill
