Help! Lights won't turn off?! Am I doing something wrong?
« on: October 09, 2024, 02:29:48 am »
Hey guys,

My right side marker, right drl and right rear brake light stays on even after the car is off and the key is removed.

Have checked all the interior instruments are turned off and those lights shouldn't be on. Left side turns off like it supposed to.

it's killing my battery. Any ideas on what this could be????????

Thanks guys!

Is your indicator stalk up for turning right and putting the park lights on.

A fuse issue, Connector to headlight issue (water ingress etc), grounding issue etc

Is there any in particular that you'd recommend checking to start? I have no idea what would cause this as it's front AND back and only on one side...

Everything was off. Also the indicator wasn't lighting up - it was the yellow side marker underneath the headlight. So weird.

Process of elimination when fault finding.  Start with one thing and continue.........sods law it is always the last thing to check, well it is usually with me   :smiley:
