Or sidelights or whatever else you want to call them.
Went to my girlfriends last night, which took a 1 hour drive to get there, so I assume the battery would be fully charged?
For some reason I forgot to switch my lights off and in my car when you turn the engine off the main headlights go out but the parking lights remain lit.
Now it was my previous understanding that these lights were meant to be left on for relatively long periods, as they are to be used for parking overnight on unlit roads. However I left the car for a total of 4 hours, when I returned the lights were still on and the alarm deactivated however nothing else worked, central locking, windows, and of course it wouldn't start (radio worked tho!). Thankfully I was on a slight incline so a quick push and I was on my way, but I'm wondering if the battery being drained after parking lights being on for 4 hours is normal?
I have a 2004 1.4L Petrol Fiesta.. if it makes any difference.
