No running (marker lights)

Just checked out my lighting and lo and behold I found out I have NO parking lights, running lights. Turn headlamp switch to parking lights and NOTHING. I do have blinkers not sure about brakes as I was doing by myself. I have a 2010 Ford E450, all fuses that one can see are fine. Any and All HELP will be appreciated. Headlights work, just the parking, running.......

    Got issue corrected....I did not know that there are TWO fuse boxes.....one under hood and one on drivers side by brake release. Found the correct one and WHAM BAM...All is well. Thank you all for your input and thoughts on this matter.

    No it is not a blacked out fuse. It is pink in color and is a 25 amp high current fuse located under the hood not inside.

    I would check the high current fuse under the hood. It is a 25 amp fuse.
    I blew mine twice.

    Same here. I would never use WD40 on electrical stuff - you'll just have more problems later.

    It is the MH.....The toad is out on errands. When turn parking lights on, the amber lights below the headlights do not come on either. Sounds like a fuse (I am hoping like all get out for sure)..But cannot find the correct one. Probably will make a visit to Ford dealer tomorrow and see if I can get some insight into this.

    I have one of these in RV TOOL box to test my truck light signals first...

    If it all works here then the trouble is on the trailer side...

    Got mine from AMAZON



    It could just be your truck 7-way socket - spray some WD40 into it and work your 7-way plug around a couple of time and see it that clears it up... I do this every time before hooking hook...

    Hot wire your plug first and see if its in the trailer or if its in the van. you can google your plug and see which is the marker lights I just use a trolling motor battery when re wire a trailer. if its on the van look for loose wires if every thing else is working it is probaly grounded out somewhere
