your going to have to pin this one out...you start in the rear of the vehicle and find the access panel for your rinning lights...turn on the lights with the car running and chech with a volt meeter if there gettin any power...if no...back check any wiring that might have been done recently..including said switch installd..post again what ya find.

sometimes when I take out my cluster I forget to plug back the harness that goes into the dimmer switch and my cluster lights don't work. Never checked if my parking lights worked. Right now I just noticed that MY parking lights don't work! my cluster lights isn't working either. Don't remember if i plugged in that switch though..... will check when I get the chance.

I'm not too familiar with 240sx wiring just yet, but I would assume there's some sort of running light relay like on my old car.

If you have a service manual try looking for any lighting related relays and replace them.

Found the problem, it was the way I wired my radio. Fixed the wiring and the fuse stopped blowing.
