Brake light and turn signal failure '81 240D

The brake lights and turn signals are working, the parking lights that you turn the headlight knob toward the left are not working either.

Fuse has not blown
The relays look good (I think one of the relays works the turn signals)
There is no power to the fuse or at the relay.

Brake light switch? Maybe?

Thank you for the diagram.

And the compressor and the fuel gauge and the temp gauge...

I must have a bad ground somewhere.

Ususally it is only a single bulb but once in awhile the sockets the bubs go into get corroded and needs to be cleaned off.
other issues are as the seals on the get older water can get inside. We had a issue with that on company onwned vehicles that were given to employees for use durng work. They used to turn the Water Hose on the lights and it forced water passed the old seals.

I had the same thing occur and after barely touching the 8 amp fuse filament which appeared ok, it crumbled. I would probably try changing it anyway-
