Default Parking lights stopped working???

For some reason my parking lights quit working. I looked at the fuses under the hood and they were fine. Is there an other fuse panel some where else?
I don't have an owners manual for the car.

97 GT

Thanks.

Is it only the parking lights? Do they not work at all, or only on a certain setting of the headlight switch?

They don't come on at all. The directionals all work just no running lights.

Well I found the fuse for the park lights, changed it but it just blows as soon as you try to turn the lights on..... no clue why

Sounds like a short somewhere. I will put a little more thought into this when I get home from my game.

If it's not a short in the wires somewhere, the best choice would be to check the headlight switch. The parking light circuit is one of the simplest in the car... battery to fuse to switch to lights. The remote keyless entry and anti-theft controller modules tap into this circuit between the switch and the lights, as do most aftermarket alarms.
