Tail Lights Not turning on with Headlights

I recently tried to fixed my left parking light, and in the process of resodering a loose connection---Both parking lights do not turn on, they only signal.

Furthermore, I have noticed that my rear tail lights do not turn on when my headlights are on in parking mode and fully on. There is also no dash lights or CD player lights.

If anyone knows what could be wrong Id greatly appreciate it.!

the obvious would be to remove what you `fixed` and redo the wires so they are not touching and causing these issues
What caused the repair anyway--that may be our clue

ck ground wires for each part

may have a bad switch at the steering wheel- need to track voltage with a test light and see where it stops

If you did the work with battery connected it could have shorted out many things

Probably not the switch if it worked before you attempted repair- you did check the fuses, right?

Brake light switch maybe? I don't know how it would go out when changing a bulb but its worth a shot. You should hear a click when the car is on and you lightly press on the brake pedal.
