My parking lamps don't work, the tail lights only work when breaking, and the blinkers work with the tail lights, and the front left blinker is the only one that works in the front. The interior dash lights also don't come on (function normally) when the head lights are switched on. And also before all this happened when I would have my lights on and take the key out it would start chiming to remind me to turn them off and now that doesn't work either when the lights are switched on. All the fuses are fine, triple checked all of them. Any ideas?

Check bulbs first then check ground in back for lights probably on frame. finally check for power for lights then go over this guide to help check the fuse and the wiring diagrams below.

The tail light wiring diagrams can help you see how the system works. Check out the diagrams (Below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.
