Running lights, side markers not working
car is an 86 s4 n/a. ive had problems with my running lights before, only now im completely stumped
. before the wiring harness behind the switch burned out...so i replaced the wires and the light switch and its worked flawlessly
, until about 4 months later the running lights stopped lighting up
. the harness and switch are fine...bulbs are good, fuses in working order... so any ideas would be extremely helpful... i would like to fix this asap...i will provide any more info if needed

How can you tell the switch is fine?
The switches fail internally due to a poor solder joint near the connector (that also takes out the White/Green wire) and oxidation on the switch contacts in the **** portion.

With good fuses........................pull the plug off the headlight switch. Then jumper a wire b/t the W/G wire and the R/B wire in the plug. The front and rear running lights should light up proving the problem lies in the switch. The W/G and R/B are located next to each other in the plug. See wiring diagrams.
