You probably hit the parking light switch inadvertantly! The switch is on top of the steering wheel column and is a rocker switch. I think that pushing the switch away from you will turn the parking lights on and pushing it towards you will turn them off - it may be vice versa though!

Parking lights are for use in some countries when you are parked on an unlit street so that other drivers can see your car.

How long will your car battery last?

I recently had a car battery replaced. They last for maybe 5 to 6 years or so but always remember to never run aircondisioning without starting your engine (if you run the aircondisioning on the battery it reduces its life) In addition, running the battery down will shorten it's life.


Does a new car battery make a car run better?

it can help but not always the first thing to think if your car is not running properly. once the car is on and running it does produce its own electricity. hence that if you get a jump start you run it for at least 30 mins so that the battery recharges and you can start your car later


Do you have to keep your laptop plugged in like a PC to keep it running?

No, in fact if the laptop's battery is working fine it is best to NOT keep it always plugged in as doing that has the potential of wearing out the battery more quickly than if you don't keep it plugged in all of the time.

Does it harm your notebook battery to always keep it connected to AC power?

No, not normally. Once the battery has charged it is maintained at full capacity and the notebook runs from the mains supply. However, if you continually do this and never use the battery on it's own, the battery can deteriorate and loose capacity. Every now and then, exercise the battery, by running on it exclusively and then charging it with the netbook switched off, but the power supply plugged in. For safety's sake, always unplug the charger when you are not in attendance. Batteries have been known to catch fire, whilst charging.

What could cause the battery to not charge in a 1999 Chevy Tahoe if its a brand new battery?

Probably need a new alternator, or you battery cables or conectors could be bad If the battery is connected to your vehicle and it is not maintaining charge while the vehicle is running then it is more than likely your alternator that is out. If the battery does not have juice and is brand new then it is defective. I have also heard that if you place a car battery directly on concrete for a long period of time it will ruin. Always put a battery on a wood or a metal surface when storing.
