parking lights wont turn off
Go figure.... I got a new problem with my problem child! my parking lights wont turn off...but the weird part is when you turn the lights off the dash lights go off but the paking lights dont and they dont turn off when I turn the key off either.....so I had to pull the fuse so the batt wont die... any ideas
Tony

ok im stupid. I let my girlfriend drive my car aned got it back with a dead battrie and with all the problems I have with this car (at least 1 new problem a week) I just figured it was a new problem. good, one issue off the list...butI still have to do a flexplate and a front diff (the guy who put the new trans in didnt put front diff fluid in it so on the way home it got the diff hot...so hot it melted the plastic gear for the speedo and I have some front diff wine. I guess you get what you pay for...$200 is costing me a hell of alot more! im guessing my flex plate is something from him to...Ill see once I pull the trans...good thing I have my old trans with a good front diff!

all should have them in two places....on the blinker column where you turn the switch for your normal lights, and then one on top of the steering column...its a on/off switch.

My Legacy used to have the switch on top of the column. The main problem I had with it, it did not light up, or there was no way of knowing it was on as you left the car [the clocks would be dark]. So in theory, if you were not careful, or in a hurry, you could lock up and leave the car with the park lights on. All night. Or whatever. A surefire recipe for a flat battery, and I never liked it.

i was told it had something to do with the regulations in japan......
cars parked at road-side must display lights...... i guess so they dont get run-into............?!?!?

Second rule is: If you are tempted to let someone else drive your SVX, see rule #1 The switch that was turned on allows you to have everything else turned off except the parking lights. That could come from a law in Japan.
