i got a 74 duster my parking lights and tail lights stop working any ideas
 
most likely the fuse if it happened all of a sudden. What were doing when it stopped working. Doing any other work at the time?
 
all the fuses look fine the only ground i see is the wire you have to bolt in i sanded it down still nothing the drivers side parking light was not blinking it started to smoke then it was fine for a few days but stopped blinking so i decided to splice in another parking light thats when the parking lights and head lights stopped for good
 
Uh oh..you didn't say anything about splice...test each side of fuse with test light. Looks can be deceiving, fuse can be fried behind the end where ya cant see..although it should be black, either way maybe there isn't power to one side of fuse so test light would tell you...

Not sure where you are located but it could be that you need a new headlamp switch/ you have a corrosion problem. Could also be the turn signal switch in the steering column has gone bad/ burned out. But i would remove the splice din park light and then see if it comes back. Clean all the connectors with electrical cleaner, they sell it at home depot. ace hardware etc. and see what happens.
 
the brake lights came back on i looked at the fuse when i took it out the top of the fuse came off still no parcking lights i'll trl to cut the splice i made and try my test light on the fuse i'll even order a new turn single switch for the hell of it
 
i got the running lights working it was not getting power at the bulk head so i replaced the male and female connector thanks for the tips now i have to see if the drivers side running light will blink
