Do you have LED headlights? If so, the parking light filament is not used. I checked mine and the shorter filament is used for the turn signal

Do your rear parking lights light up with parking lights selected on? The front parking lamps are protected with FETs. They are separate for left and right parking lamps. Are both front parking lamps not working?

Well the ONLY time I can get the park light to come on is when I hit the unlock button on the fob , it gets bright like the other one then immediately goes off while the other side stays on like the taillights ... im at a loss as nothing seemed to be working for a while...

If your left rear parking light is working, then the FET protection has not been affected as the left front and left rear parking lamps are fed from the same circuit.

Double check the wiring connections to the socket. Also make sure that the bulb is still good.
Another point is the turn signal filament is briefly illuminated when unlocking the truck, not the parking lamp filament.

I switched the good one from drivers side to check but no change ... I guess I need a meter to check the wire for voltage?
Yes, that will show if there is power to the socket. If you have voltage to the splice but the bulb is not lighting, then there is a problem with the socket.

Well i should have lead with that...
And what follows is the most I've been embarrassed for a while (and still had my clothes on ) normally I would just disappear and not share my stupidity but here it is ...

That stupid jumper came apart inside i guess 😒, when I used the meter with the "tone" option , nothing... ALL IS GOOD NOW !!!
I now feel like an idiot for wasting your time ! I apologize 😔... I used the jumpers so I wouldn't have to stick my fumble fingers down in there while testing, never dreamed one would be bad... sorry 😞and THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME!!!

We need to keep that part number handy incase someone else has a socket fail and doesn't want to rip out the headlight...
I think Ford is gonna offer to fix it but I dont really want those guys messing with it now...
