A 914 Feature or 914 Problem, Parking Lights Turn On With Turn Signal Options

[ChrisFix]

I accidently hit the turn signal lever getting out of the car, and noticed that the left side parking lights (front and back) were on, corresponding to the turn signal lever being in the left position. This is with the key out of the ignition and the lights turned off. If I select the right side turn signal position, the parking lights on that side turn on. With the turn signal in the off position all the lights are off.

With the ignition on, everything works properly; turn signals, parking lights, headlights etc.

I just pulled the steering wheel and turn signal / wiper switches to replace the washer hoses and had to remove the gauges to get access so I have removed and reconnected the connector from the turn signal along with all the other bits and pieces to complete that job, so if this shouldn't be happening, I'm pretty sure it's related to this activity.

I never tried turning the turn signal on without power, so I don't know if that has always worked that way or if it is supposed to work that way.

Thanks for all the help I've been able to get from this forum!
