Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / 4x4 Cars / May 2004electric issue - parking lights intermittently stay on
no changes have been made in the last month and suddenly this past week i turn off the car and open the door and the 'lights on' noise goes off. it's happened 4 times this past week, and yes the lights are turned off, but the parking lights stay on. i've had to resort to disconnecting the neg on the battery till this is fixed. any ideas? thanks, ziv Some aftermarket alarm sytems are connected to the park lites for status purposes, if the module goes bad it can keep the lites on, one possibility. > no changes have been made in the last month and suddenly this past > week i turn off the car and open the door and the 'lights on' noise [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > thanks, > ziv hello it is not something stupid and u have not set it to PARKING LIGHT ?? some makes of 4x4's if u tunr the key to take it out of the ign u can turn it even more so the parking lights stay on??

Or disconnect the wire that is tapped into the park lites and see if it corrects the problem. > this seems like a definite possibilty. i had the alarm installed at > the dealership when i purchased the car, and as i recall there is a [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > > http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! > > -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
