1) Your malibu has automatic lighting. You will notice that the orange marker lamps do not come on unless the photoresistor on the top of the dash detects low daylight levels to tell the system it is dark, then they will come on (along with your dash lamps). It has a 20 second delay (going under bridges, etc).
2) You should be using your parking brake anyway when parking the car. Keeps a lot of stress off the tranny instead of just putting it in park and walking away. Push on the p/brake and the lights will go off. Push off and they come on. It's the way the system was designed.
3) If you are popping fuses and the rated fuse in the system, DO NOT PUT IN ONE WITH A HIGHER AMPERAGE RATING unless you like car fires, melted fuse boxes or the smell of burning wire insulation. You have a short in the circuit. Find it and fix it.

Hope this helps.
