Front parking lights problem
My 04 OZ front parking lights cannot be turned on with the signal stalk. Hazards work fine, but not as parking lights. I suspect the Front ECU, which is a pack of relays and a PCB that apparently decodes signals. Does anyone have an ECU pinout, or experience with this?
Bulbs are tested good, fuses are all good. I can hear a relay clicking in the ECU (probably 2) but cannot quite figure out which ones they are.
Thanks!

Are you talking about the round amber ones that flash as the hazards and turn signals? If so then thats normal because thats the only time they should be on. The parking lights are the smaller bulbs that are in the upper outside of the main reflector housing if i recall correctly. If im wrong someone else correct me but if you are looking at the front of the car at the drivers side light, the parking light is 45 degrees up and to the right in the main bulb reflector.

Maybe
I'm referring to the larger amber ones inboard of the headlights.
Looking through the Eclipse manuals, and the Front-ECU appears identical, the column switch schematic doesn't seem to include a position for 'parking', but rather for:
Lighting Switch (Head)
Lighting Switch (Tail)
Dimmer.Passing Switch (Dimmer)
Dimmer.Passing Switch (Passing)
Turn-Signal Switch
It appears there are no front 'parking lights'. Silly me.
BTW, 54B-623 of the SWS manual is where the pinouts for the Front-ECU are. Now it makes sense to me. So long as the PCB is ok, looks like it is just relay troubles. But the PCB translates signals into relay control. Clever, and complex.
