Left rear parking light not working on 1998 Boxster

[dgtal]

I have the same problem. Trying to fix the switch itself (Part# 99661353500). After having a problem with my Litronics headlights. I removed and open apart. Some contacts weren't aligned up and weren't making contact. I reassembled. Now my Litronics work but I have the rear left running light off. Will keep trying. It's definitely the light switch.

Can somebody help me find the pinout nomenclature or electrical diagram of the switch? I will appreciate your help.

I was replacing 2 bulbs on the right side, not even the parking lights they were the flasher and brake lights. when i put back the housing type thing back in its place i noticed one of the parking lights went on and of so i took it back out and moved the bulb in and out and then both parking bulbs went out. i heard a noise, sounded like a fuse blowing or a relay. not sure. from what i have read here it might be the actual light switch that burnt. seem weird that their is no fuse or relay before you burn the switch. any ideas or do i have to replace the switch.

Fixed problem, it was a fuse that burnt.

suggest using a simple 12v test light or a voltmeter to verify that there is in fact no voltage a the bulb connection?

This at least gives you a starting point before you start throwing parts at it until you accidentally solve the problem.
