Default 2003 ZX2 , No Runnibg Lights or Dash Lights, HELP....

Hi, Thanks for taking time to read.
i do not have any Parking Lights or some say Running lights and no Dash Lights.
I Do have my Blinkers, Headlights, Brakelights, everythind else, but No Dash Lights or Parking Lights.
I Have found 2 Fuse or Relay boxes, 1 under dash & 1 Under Hood just above the Drivers Tire.
All these Fuses seem to be good.
Is there a Special Relay or Fuse Somewhere else ? or any Info would be deeply appreciated.
Im on the west Coast, is there any Auto Parts stores that have a Diagonoser that will hook up under my dash & tell me whats wrong.
Thank You, Brian

LOL... I don't know exactly why he asked the question, but he wanted to know if you have automatic headlights.

It matters because some times the AutoLamp Parking relays go before the manaul Parking light relays.

I figured it was something like that, or a different wiring diagram. I knew that it was so that you could give better/ more specific, advice. Its a shame that YORKY didn't respond.
