Parking light issue.

I have a minor problem with my parking (marker) lights up front....all parking lights work fine but only with headlights on.
If I bump headlight switch into parking light mode, I have no power at feed (brown) wire.
Thinking it must be the headlight switch itself but they are such a pain in the a**, looking to see if I might be missing something before I replace the headlight switch.switch.
Thanks in advance!

Do the dash lamps work? If you look at the diagram the dash lamp fuse is powered by the taillight power. No power to the taillight, no dash lights.
