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,
I left out that lights M1, M4 for the left and M3, M2 for the right also light at the same time as M11, M12. M4, M2 are the rear parking/ running lights. Don't think you will be able to just remove the fuses to fix this. Sorry to be the bearer of potentially bad news.
I can't imagine why there would be a black/blue wire where you have one. It is sure not on the prints being there.
You read the prints like the one I posted like a waterfall. Power in at the top and flows down to the bottom. The entire bottom line is ground. The numbers at the bottom are for reference. They do a couple of things for you. Remember your question about what the 67 in the yellow square at the parking switch meant? It means go to current track 67 ( another name for the numbers along the bottom ) , and look up toward the top until you find a yellow square that has a 30 on it. That's where the power is coming from.
They also are used to lead you to a current track corresponding to the numbers to the right of the circuit names on page 1. Say you want to look at the brake switch ( it is listed as stop light switch ) and is symbol F. Across from it you will see 51. Look at current track 51 going up to the top and you will see the brake light switch and circuit.
