If they stay on for a short time after leaving the car on a new vehicle, that is normal. If they car is older or the lights just stay on, it is one of a few things.
1. The parking lights were left on.
2. The light switch is bad
3. There is a short in the wiring to the lights.
I have same problem have you figured it out yet?
faulty hdlmp switch
Turn signal lights that double as parking (marker lights) when not blinking.
To assist drivers in maintaining road safety, marker lights are installed in road lanes and partitions, making them easily visible. Marker lights can either be LED-powered or merely reflective.
The 1995 Pontiac Grand Am has reflectors on the sides that may look like side marker lights, but they are only reflectors. The tail lights and front parking lights are so positioned that they can be viewed from the sides, so separate side marker lights are unnecessary.
Because the lights were turned on manually instead of letting the automatic headlight illumination circuitry do its own thing. Turn the switch to "OFF" - it's part of the turn indicator arm.
What about them?
how do change the front marker lights on my 08 kia spectra can't get at them from under the hood
A permanent marker was used to stay forever, but they don't. A regular marker is easy to wash off and doesn't stay for a very long time.
No
This is a continuation of the question. The head lights turn on, but all 4 of the marker lights and the dash lights don't come on. I have to keep turning the light switch on and off until they eventually come on. Once I have dash lights and marker lights they stay on normally until I shut the car off, then I have to start all over again. All fuses in the fuse box are good and not loose. What could be causing the problem? Sorry for not putting these details in the original question.
Cab lights. Wrong.... Marker lights
