I just purcahsed a 1996 Subaru for my daugther. Come to my surprise the park lights do not work? I have looked at every fuse, replaces every light bulb and still nothing. When you apply the brakes everything works fine however she still has no park lights? Also the hazard lights won’t flash either? Any ideas what it could be?

There is a switch on top of the steering column that you can turn those lights on with. See if that works. If it does then the trouble may be with the tail & illumination relay in the dash fuse panel. It is the middle one of the three in a row. If the switch doesn’t work then there may be a fuse problem.
