Yes - with #6 pulled.

But I've know for some time that the parking light circuit is somehow getting energized by the flasher circuit when the parking light switch is off. The dash lighting controller is pulling power from the common termination at fuse 6 with the parking lights.

There's not many places the parking lights could be getting power from - Dimmr relay to headlights to light switch - something at the ignition switch?? Or the brake light switch could be feeding power from the turn signal switch through fuse 5 and then fuse 4 to the flasher unit. It seems this would be showing up with regular 1157 bulbs in place however.

I'm still kind of on the theory of some sort of internal cross-talk inside the LEDs because of low load.
