Re: Parking lights not working - 2005 Allure 470

Hi Bill - I replied on the Facebook page, obviously you visit there less often. yes the marker (parking) and headlights go through the Vehicle Improvement Products (VIP) smartwheel controller, and steering wheel controls. There are a number of relays that control circuits.
Your 2005 may have the SM209 controller and system, my 2007 has the one generation newer SM211. Wiring schematic is fairly similar, the controller board has different number of Mate N Lock (Amp lock) connectors. Principle of operation is similar.
I had troubles with a "no headlight" scenario a year or so back and became very familiar with the system. VIP has a great tech page, but I can hot rod your learning by having a phone conversation if needed. Let me know, send me an email; we traded emails previously. I have attached both my marked up schematic with CC wire numbers (SM211 controller), and your SM209, if I am correct in my assumption for your 2005.
Hope this helps,
Brian
