I have a 2000 Buick Park Avenue and the park lights just quite working.  I have a viper alarm hookeed up and the park lights work when i use the alarm.(arm disarm panic & so on )  They dont work off the switch or the automatic on function of the car.  The dash lights, park lights, & the under the hood light must all be on the same circuit, because they all just quite, but flash as long as the alarm supplies the power.  The grey/black wire on the switch hareness shows 12volt until the switch is pulled to the on postion, then goes dead, nothing.  I replaced the switch and LCM but nothing.  Please help!!

Have you checked for a blown fuse?  Did you install an aftermarket radio?

No blown fuses, yes I do have an aftermarket radio but i didnt connect the illumination wire. Checked everthing I could think of, even looked for relays, but not a one.

If this happened just after the radio install, unhook the radio and see if your lights begin to work.  If this allows the lights to work again, notice the wire color of the vehicle that you have connected to the ground wire of the aftermarket radio.

I installed a aftermarket radio yesterday in a 2000 lesabre. the dash lights did not work after the install.  has anyone ever heard of this problem ? The dimmer switch also has 12  volts in the slider position but when in full "ON" position it has it has no volts at all. Sounds very similar to this topic as well.  thanks

That wire is a signal wire it's,operating like its supposed too. Try unhooking the radio to see if they come on, because it sounds like the ground wire is crossed.(If using a harness on the factory plug could be a wire in the wrong location)
