My experience with this has been related to the door locks. You can try to lubricate the lock Mechanism and it usually cures the problem, However we have also seen it past that point and have had to replace the switch that I believe that is part of the lock. Try lubricated with a light spray first. It is a Ford problem, mine does it once in while. The dome light will drain the Battery. Good Luck
If the parking lights are on when the car is off its probably a switch issue.
If parking lights and dash lights are not working and fuse blows out, there might be a problem with battery corrosion. Check the components specific to the circuits of the affected lights. It might be loose.
Of course.
Turning Parking Lights ON while Charging BatteryNO, it serves no purpose other than to reduce the life of the parking light bulb filaments, and to cause the battery to have to be charged longer.
Unbolt the battery for at least ten seconds. Mechanic, Why are the parking lights flashing after new battery installation?
on my 93 impreza wagon, they are manual. located on top of the steering column. designed so the parking lights will not be left on mistakenly, causing battery drain. cup holder hides above radio
Headlights, interior lights, parking lights,Headlights, interior lights, parking lights,
There is another fuse box under the hood and next to the battery. This fuse controls the horn, dashboard lights, and the tail lights.
The parking lights are turned on when the headlights are on and you pull out on the light switch. The parking lights cannot be turned on by themselves.
sounds like a bad light switch.
Check the rear light wires, could be a short
If you leave the indicators on when the ignition is off the sidelights or parking lights will be turned on. Just an alternative to leaving all the parking lights on in order to save battery use. Eg if you are parked in a poorly lit area for a while.
