55 buick question

My 55 only lights up the parking lamps up front in the first switch position. When the headlights (position 2) are on he parking lights go out. Is this by design? I have verified wiring and tested the switch.
Thanks guys

 

That is the way it was born, you have no problem

 

If you want them to stay on with the headlights, put a jumper between the park light and the dash light terminal on the switch.

 

Thanks guys.thought it was weird but it all checked out

 

Umm..not sure why this was moved..new admin. I guess after 3 years of being an alliance member and 900+ posts I need to intro myself again...hi.. I'm Erik and I have a small car problem...

Thought about it a little bit and edited my post. If you jump to the dash light you will burn up the dimmer resister for the lights. Go to the tail light instead.

 

Already there old round. Thanks man
