Try checking the switches on the door frames. The switches are spring loaded; when you close the door it breaks the contact. Start with the driver's door. The driver's door receives the most use. Also: the switch can break and fall into the door pillar.
If the dome lights or lights under the dash don't turn off after exiting the car, you can try closing all doors properly and ensuring the parking brake is engaged. If they still do not turn off, there may be a faulty door switch or wiring issue that needs to be addressed by a mechanic. You can also try manually turning off the lights using the light switch if applicable.
That is exactly as it should be.
If the switch is not turning off the parking lights on your 2001 Subaru Forester, it could be due to a faulty switch, a wiring issue, or a problem with the lighting control module. I recommend checking the switch for any visible damage or debris, and if that doesn't solve the issue, it may be necessary to consult a mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
The headlight switch on a 1993 Mercury Topaz is typically located on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. It allows you to turn the headlights on and off, as well as control other exterior lights such as the parking lights and fog lights. If you are experiencing issues with your headlights, it is recommended to check the fuse, bulbs, and wiring before replacing the headlight switch.
A night switch can be made by installing a light sensor that detects low light levels, triggering the switch to turn on the lights. The procedure involves connecting the light sensor to the switch to control the power supply based on the ambient light levels. This allows the lights to automatically turn on at night and turn off during the day.
