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

As mentioned earlier, there are more than 30 pages of electrical problems. What is missing is the solution to most of these problems. Most of the problems were resolved by one or more of the recommendations by members I would assume, without the originator posting the fix.

I was very happy that my electrical glitch was resolved. I didn't post the fix, so here it is, better late than never.

I don't know what the cause of the original problem was. What I do know is that it's all good now and here is what I done, one of these was the culprit.

Received good diagram from Jeff. Went to Staples and had it blown up and laminated. Got dry marker so I could write and draw on it. Tom gave good advice on how to read the diagram and trace circuits.

I found headlight had 2 wires reversed, fuse 5 and 7 wires were reversed. I replaced all fuses, cleaned fuse block, wire brushed all grounds. Checked bulbs.

Everything works, even the Euro parking lights. Most circuits worked before, now they all work as they should.
