I have a 71 f-600 that when you turn the parking lights on everything works but when you pull the switch out for the headlights to come on the fender maker lights go out. Not the tail or side markers just the fenders. What the heck could cause this? There is also a switch in the dash that says blink marker or something it is a factory switch what is it suppose to do? thanks Jake

The switch that says "Blink Marker" does just that, it blinks the lights when you hit it. Truckers do that as a courtesy when being passed by another truck to let them know that they are clear to get back over after passing. And yes, it is a factory switch.

Not sure, but it seems to me that's how they were set up in those days... the front marker lights went off when the headlights were on.

The other switch is an early attempt at 4-way warning flashers.
