noticed this week that if I turn the blinker on w/o the key in that that sides turn indicators will stay on. ie: turn left blinker switch, then left front and rear turn indicators are on full time with key out.
something wrong with my switch, or do they all do this? |

Nothing is wrong, they all do this. It is a european thing for double parking on narrow streets in the fog at night. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

It's setup that if you park on a narrow road at night you can leave just those two lights on to warn other drivers that the car is there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Well, my cars feature has a bug..... All the lights, turnsignals, emergency flashers, etc, work correctly. But, with the key off and out if I turn the left blinker on the right side lights turn on. If I turn on the right blinker the left side lights turn on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) I was never able to figure it out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

Paul,
I think it's a wiring issue on the dash switch. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) When used as intended it's a very useful feature. If your battery is in good shape, leaving the parking lights on over night will most certainly *not* kill your battery. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) |
