    Hi,

    The parking lights may stay on if the headlight relay is bad, first row and second from the left. Usually a metal can with the letter K on it.

    Chimes and interior light failure to work on selective door opening is usually attributed to the door switch.

    Fuel gauge could be the sending unit in tank or the gauge itself.

    Gus

    When the parking lights stay on, is the headlight switch turned to off, parking lights, or headlights?

    Parking lights, as the name suggests, are SUPPOSED to be on with the ignition off; so if you've got the switch in the middle position then all is working correctly.

    Turn the light switch to see if it turns off the lights,

    Open the drivers door and wiggle the door jamb switch and see if the light comes on and the chime works. You may need to remove the door jamb switch and see if it has 12 volts to it.

    On the fuel guage check to see if the connections at the sending unit at the tank are good.

    Hope this helps,

    Jimo
