Lights stay on

Jan 02, 2005 3 Replies

I have a strange problem with my 1998 Legacy. When I turn off the contact and remove the keys the lights stay on. Is this familiar to anyone? Is there an easy fix? It happened when there was a very rainy day in between frost periods. But it didn't go away, even after several hours of driving and after another day above freezing.



For now I solved it by removing one of the battery clamps when parked, but that isn't very convenient.


If you're refering to the parking lights being "on" check the little rocker switch on top of your steering column.

Duh.

Thanks. I always thought that switch had the same function as the alarm lights switch. And someone else drove my car recently and apparently used that switch. I see it's a FAQ, sorry to have bothered you.

PS I have a manual, I even have read it, but it's in french and I can't do a computerized search in it.
