Title: Parking lights won't shut off!
Post by: Patrick on December 15, 2005, 03:08:00 am

Anyone run across this before?

Changed a headlight bulb late last night, turned lights and key on to check it, now the parking lights won't go out. cold and dark, so I pulled the positive cable off tehbattery for the night. Am I looking at a lightswitch, relay, or the ignition switch?

Sorry, it's a 92 Jetta. Tried the headlight switch out of my parts car (87 Jetta) slightly different wiring due to daytime running lights I think.

Pulled the '92 switch apart, found a chunk of wood like you'd see off a chainsaw INSIDE the switch. How it got there I'll never know!   It's in my other 92 as we speak, seems to be fine. Chunk was holding something up??
