Default Parking Lights Problem

OK, I have a 1980, when I turn the lights on all the (((REAR))) lights (including marker lights) come on like they should and at the (((FRONT))) the head lights come on (that's it, nothing else) and when I flip the turn signals on the front (yellow) lights flash including the side (yellow) lights and the side (white) lights,but they don't flash. So, in other words "everything works the way they supposed to" except I don't have no front parking lights. I have checked the bulbs (if I did correctly) and they check out good. You guy's / gal's have any ideas ?

Added Note: When I pull the "parking light switch" only the rear lights work, not the front parking lights

AND, do they come on when you pull the switch to the "parking lights" position. If so, they are also working like they should. They are parking lights, not running lights on the earlier year cars.

When I got my '72, my park lights did not work either, upon investigation, after unplugging the sockets, I found that one of the 'blades' had been flattened out so that it did not plug in...soon as I straightened those blades up and plugged the sockets in, bingo, lite up like a Christmas tree.
