Hello,

I would be checking the grounds out at the wheel, they get weather that makes them become weak. No power into a circuit we need a bit more info, so you do have the other lights working headlights, brakes lights, parking lights, front parking lights or are you just missing the dash and rear parking lights? Double check all the fuses making sure you have a good ground with your test light. Here are diagrams to use to see what the fuses are and I have highlighted the grounds and connections to verify in your testing.
Let me know,
Tom
