Need some opinions...

When I turn on my headlight switch the two main lamps up front come on and that is it.

The yellow parking lamps do not come on and neither do the rear tailights.

If I use my signals the inside parking lamps work but not the corners and the blinkers out back work as well.

When I step on the brake all of my tail lights work as well.

I have replaced my ignition switch two times before because they seem to keep failing.

Do you think it could be my ignition switch AGAIN?
What other possibilitys are there?

the outside corner markers dont blink with the blinkers.

An obvious question, but I gotta ask...have you replaced the headlight switch??

Yes I have before but it wasn't because the previous one failed, it was because the switch itself broke.

Is there any type of headlight/taillight wiring that runs underneath the car?

the taillight harness is in the body of the car, and the headlight harness plugs in underneath the stock battery tray and runs around the front of the radiator, it also plugs into the alternator.
