There were two problems going on.
One. Someone suggested it might have been wired up wrong, and it was. Somewhere along the line, the connections to the 3rd and 4th fuses were reversed. The power to the parking lights should be attached to the lowermost fuse (4th), not the second from the bottom (3rd). Not sure how this happened, but it doesn't match the wiring diagram in my haynes manual. Anyway, they work now, the switch turns them on and off. Lesson learned.

The second issue was the poor rebuild I did on one of the license plate lights. While it looked fine, when I put the bulb in, it bent one of the connectors and shorted the circuit out. I fixed this with some more creative bending and the problem is gone.

My lights all function perfectly now! Thanks for all your patience and suggestions!!
