Hi. I'm trying to get the parking lights on my Drover working. I have tested the lights with a circuit tester and it didn't light up. I measured the volts with a volt meter and it was reading as 0.20 volts. I heard that corrosion can cause the volts to drop but can they cause them to drop that much and what should I do to try and fix it.
Thanks
Gus

0.2V is just noise. It's not a meaningful reading.
Checked the fuse?
Checked the taillights?

fuse is all good but the tail lights blow the fuse.

I should say that the headlight fuse is all good but the tail lights blow the tail/brake light fuse

They're on the same circuit as the park lights.

thanks now I need to find what
's causing the fuse to blow.
Cheers

Be aware - tail lights & brake lights are not quite the same thing - and in this case they are on two separate circuits with separate fuses.

So - one globe with two filaments on separate circuits - presumably it's the side/park light fuse that is blowing, that powers front & rear park lights, as well as dash lights.

Now - what bother me is that you appear to have a very unusual view of electrical concepts, you might want to find someone to guide you through the troubleshooting.

What can I say - EVERY diagram I've seen for those vehicles shows two different fuses.

Stop/tail fuse will kill the park lights as has been described.
