had an issue with my dash lights and park lights not working and the headlights popping up when I turned on my park lights, was told its the multi switch, so I got one from "Rock auto" and now my dash lights work when the headlights are on BUT no tail lights no park lights, fuses are okay I am at my wits end as to what i should look for is there a relay hat controls all? H E L P!

What fuses did you check? Do you have a DMM or test light? Do you understand schematics for troubleshooting?
Perhaps list what is working normally for exterior lights including brake, hazards, DRL, etc.

I checked the #6 fuse for marker lights and it is okay, I do not have a dmm or test light. what works is head lights (high & low) fog lights work with headlamps only, tail lights work when head lights are on only, park lamps do not work BUT when you turn them on head lamp covers pop up.but are not on until you turn them on. turn signals and hazards work.

You should be able to turn on the fog lights with the ignition ON, and MFS set to park or low beam.

At this point you need to be able to work through a schematic, and do 12v/ground checks. It does not sound like there was any troubleshooting that led to a diagnosis, and I'm sure the new MFS was not tested before installing. Sounds like you will be well served taking this to a trusted shop.
yes I think I would best served taking it to a shop. the fog lights only come on with the head lights.
IIRC, that is the only way the fog lights work. The headlight, or parking light circuit must be on, or fogs wont work, and I think Lucky pointed that out....
