Default Parking Lamps Problem

Hello,
I would appreciate any advice how to fix my problem. I have Ford Focus SE 2000 (no fog lights). A couple of days ago the parking lamps and instrument cluster lighting went out suddenly when I pressed remote luggage compartment release button. Side lights (left, right), brake lamps, back-up lamps, and hazard flasher are working fine. When I press brake pedal, the instrument cluster lights up normally.

First, I changed brake lamps because I thought they burned down. It happened before. Then I checked fuses - they looked fine. Then I replaced headlight switch, but it didn't help. I bought a used one. Maybe I need to get a new switch.

Thank you for your recommendations,
Dmitri

Have you tried to change the light relay?

People say that a ground connection became faulty. Can somebody advise where I can find ground connections in my car?
Thank you,
Dmitri

Try testing first the fuses in question using a multimeter. Sometimes they can get a hairline crack thats not immediatly visible.

Go onto google and check out "car electrical problem diagnostic"
