I have a 2011 dodge avenger my parking lights in the back don't work and the fuses are good. We're is the ground located so I can take a look.when I lock my car with the remote I can see the lights light up, but when I turn the lights on they won't come on. I'm looking to fix this myself because I just had my first baby and my wife isn't working so money is tight I hope someone can plz give me some advice .Thank you for your time.
Pull the covers in side the trunk and follow the harness i think its just be for it goes threw the cavity in the trunk
You are on the right track. But to be certain you should go to the actual light socket on one of the running lights that isn't working. Remove the socket assembly and remove the bulb. Check to see if its clean and free of corrosion and rust..
Use a "test light probe" like this.
link to test light pic and general use instructions
When you have the light bulb out you can do the test either with the connections inside the socket or you can use the probe on the back side of the socket.
First you want to check to see if you have power going to the light to start with.
1. connect the ground connection to something you are certain is attached to the frame, and has no paint. Screws, bolts or bare metal are all good. Then with the parking lights on check all of the posts in the socket you should get a light on one of them.
If you don't double check your ground on your test light and try a couple different places and a different power source. You want to KNOW you have a good ground first
If you do get a light on the test light, remember which socket you got power from. If there is only one other socket it will be ground.
Some cars have a dual power source for parking, brake, signals etc.
Next you can check the ground by putting the test light connection in the socket you are sure has power. and the probe in the other socket. you should have light on your test handle. If you don't leave the connector where it is and stick the probe on something metal to see if that works. If it does then you do have a problem with the ground.
BTW having a bad ground is not very common.
SOURCE: 2000 dodge neon no back up lights wiring and bulbs and fuses good
Range sensor? that would be a speedometer odometer sensor ! range traveled! you request if for reverse light switch yes? wiring and bulbs not the issue! the switch is located behind and down drivers side head light 1999 model is under battery box must remove to gain entry to switch round plug with flat top 2 wires entering hope this helps.

there is a fuse/relay panel underhood, also another underdash. check fuses with a testlight if possible. make sure the reostat( little wheel beside the light switch) is in the proper position. The dashlights are a seperate issue from the turn signals, unless it's an underdash wiring issue. check the fuses and reostat and let me know what you find.
Good luck

SOURCE: 1997 dodge avenger turn signal probs and location
replace the turn signal switch it self, mine did the same thing with the left turn signal, put in fuse and it will continue to flash... went to junk yard pulled one out of a 97 avenger just like mine, swapped them out and now it works fine. looked to be like some corrosion... to repace: 3 screws under columb, 2 screws on side of signal switch (black plastic side). unplug and replace
SOURCE: Park/Tail lights not working. Brake/signals are
Before going ahead and spending money on a new module, test it first. The module is located under the steering column. You'll find a Brown wire on one of the connectors (i just looked at a wire diagram). Do no disconnect anything. Back probe the brown wire, which is the power feed to your park lights. With the lights off, there should be 0 volts on you voltmeter. Turn the park lamps on, There should be 12V. If there is not 12V, disconnect the connector and try to check voltage at the pin that feeds to the brown wire, if still not 12V, replace the module. If you do get 12V, then module is ok, find where the 12v is being dropped before making it to the lamps.
