On my '96 Outback Wagon there's a rocker switch on top of the steering column, just forward of the steering wheel. It is marked with a "P" - if it is switched ON, a red color bar shows toward the driver. Try switching it to the other position, parking lights should be OFF. I think there's a separate switch because on the Outback, the lights controlled by the regular steering column switch go on and off with the ignition. I know of other cars that have a similar switch there for the hazard flashers, but on the Outback, it's the parking light switch. ;-)

Parking lights will not shut off on 2006 Pontiac grand prix?
The parking lights on a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix will not shut off if the switch has become damaged or the wiring has a short. This will trigger the lights to stay on regardless of the input from the driver.
Why are the parking lights still on even after the key is out of the ignition on a 2006 subaru legacy?
Some vehicle makes have a delay or timer on the parking lights, allowing the driver and its occupants to exit the vehicle and, say, enter their place of residence. They should shut off within 15 to 30 seconds, depending on the installed delay. On my '96 Outback Wagon there's a rocker switch on top of the steering column, just forward of the steering wheel. It is marked with a "P" - if it is switched ON, a red color bar shows toward the driver. Try switching it to the other position, parking lights should be OFF.

What is wrong with your 98 Subaru outback when you shut the vehicle off and the tail lights and the front side lights stay on the headlight switch still turns the headlights on and off?
Check to make sure you didn't bump the switch on the top of the steering column (directly behind the steering wheel) that turns the parking lights on permanently. Was this the final answer? Do not bump the switch in the steering column? That's pretty lame!

Why your parking lights stays on in Camry 2007 hybird?
When your parking light stays on after you shut off the car, it is likely that the relay on that circuit stayed on. Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes or so and then reconnect it.
Why does a 1989 Ford Aerostar parking lights stay on after shutting off the headlights even when vehicle is shut off and will remain on until battery is dead?
I would suspect a bad headlight and / or turnsignal switch assembly. I just ran across this problem recently with an 89 Aerostar with an Astrostart remote starter. When using the remote to lock the vehicle, the parking lights flash on and off. Something with the Astrostart was keeping the parking lights on until I shut the power off to the remote starter and from that point on the parking lights shut off fine. I don't know though what in the Astrostart is causing it. I don't know anything about remote starters. The owner is happy that his battery no longer goes dead but now he has to get help with the remote starter.

How do you shut off daylights on a 1999 Chevy blazer?
by design the DAY-TIME-RUNNING lights are not intended to be turned off by choice. When you start the 99 blazer with the parking brake on, the DTR lights are off. When you release the parking brake they come on. When you park again and apply the parking brake the DTR lights will stay on, unless you stop the engine and re-start the engine. Since the DTR lights are inter-wired to the regular headlights, they can not be defeated without affecting the regular headlights.
