PARKING, LICENSE PLATE AND TAIL LAMPS OPERATION When the lighting switch is in 1st or 2nd position, BCM detects the LIGHTING SWITCH 1st or 2nd POSITION ON. The BCM sends a parking light ON request via the CAN communication lines to the IPDM E/R. The IPDM E/R then activates the tail lamp relay which sends power to the parking and instrument illumination circuits.
Did you check tail lamp relay ? Check for voltage with volt meter ?
Are the front park lights operational? These are tied into the tail lights as well. If the front park lights are operational and the rear are not, suspect bad/burned out bulbs. If no park lights operational, suspect fuse or wiring
I'm not an expert on the electrical part of the 04 maxima. But I noticed on one of the websites I normally visit that it could be a blown bulb on the passenger side vanity mirror. Here's the quote:
2004 Maxima Tail Lights and Parking Lights fuse blows when interior dome light
is on
Discovered that my tail lights
and parking lights fuse (next to the window washer box which took me a couple of
hours to find!) would blow everytime I turned interior dome light on. First I
thought it was my Ipod and then maybe moisture was getting in through a small
crack in the left rear tail light. Sat in my car last night with a box of fuses
and did everything one at a time. It was the turning on of my dome light that
caused the fuse to blow. It was instant. I have a blown bulb in the passenger
side vanity sun-viser flap. I will change that tomorrow and post an update.
He hasn't updated on the results of changing his vanity mirror bulb. I hope this helps...I hate car electrical problems...So hard to diagnose...
Your interior lights fuse is powered by the tail/park lamp fuse, that way you know when your parking lamps are not working. Your interior lights probably went at the same time, but you noticed them first. Most likely, you have a blown park/tail lamp fuse. Check the fuse first, replace it if it's open. If it blows again, you have a short in the park lamp circuit.
