my park lights stay on and the dome light isn't working along with the sun visor mirror lights. and the radio works sometime ? Help ?
Check fuse for parking/tailights common circuit
Mine did the same thing. I was told it was an alarm and control relay unit? My mechanic directed me to the dealership. Said it possibly could cost up to $400. My cruise works if the headlights are off, but not when on. When car is off and while driving and brakes are pressed parking lights come on in the front when headlights are off.

Applying the parking break works for me.
On my 98 sunfire, the tail lights and marker lights only work if you turn on the headlights. If only the daytime lights are on, the Pontiac on the trunk is illuminated but no other lights at the rear until brakes or turn signals are activated. This is common with a lot of vehicles out there. Daytime running lights are not necessarily the same candle power as the headlights. I can tell a big difference in mine.
In the older model Tundras, the running lights are the headlights, not the parking lights. If you open the hood, and look right behind the left headlight, there should be a grey wire with a bulky connector. It should be located right between the battery and the side wall of the truck. Simply disconnect the grey wire and the running lights should come on. You could buy a new daytime running light relay that just loops the circuit back to itself, but this works just the same.
I unbolted the cover on the wheel well and reached in to change my signal lights. Then I bolted it back on. I hope this works.
check your parking light grounds,lights are trying to ground back thru the circut .common to lose ground in the light socket or even a shorted bulb. most part stores have replacement sockets
hmm as you ask what happened to high beams, i am going to assume that low beam works. id this is correct i would say that your low/high beam switch needs replacing
Push the dome override button in and out twice. After the second time you will hear a bell. The lights should then be controlled by the off/parking/headlights switch. You will have to do this every time you turn the car on. Hope it works for you!!
It's probably time to replace your headlight switch. Had a similar problem on my '95. A new switch fixed her right up.
Check the relays under the hood. Maybe one is no good.
I tapped into the parking light wire harness both (+) and (-) and it works and looks great!
Check the bulbs one of the 2 filaments may be burned out
I just had this same problem with my 1998 VW Jetta. My parking brake light came on one day, but only half illuminated. Shortly after my windshield wipers and headlights stopped working. My radio works but the fans don't work either. I just found a thread which seems to point the problem at the ignition switch: http://car.justanswer.com/volkswagen/6uht-1998-volkswagen-jetta-headlights
Make sure you have a good ground
If the dashboard dimmer switch works with the other dash lights, the fault is in the radio unit itself.
It you need to turn your switch to get the headlights on......try pulling out on it. That's how my Dodge pick-up works.
In a parallel circuit, the other bulb still works when one fails.
It sounds like a direct short in the headlight circuit . Check for shorted wiring to the headlights and tail lights . Could also be headlight and or dimmer switch .
try applying the parking brake when its in park this works for some vehicles
I had to get all new tale lights, the switchboards go bad on them. I found mine off craigslist, but u can also find them at a salvage yard.
Probably a fuse, check to see if your horn works, really!
The ground for the brake lamp. When the tail lights are off, the tail light circuit can act as a ground for the brake light. When the tail lights are on, it can't.
