This is a strange one. No matter what I do, I can't turn off the headlights or rear lights. They stay on even with keys outs. So, every time I leave the car I have to take out 3 x fuses for left lights, right lights and dash illumination. Then put the fuses back in when I next have to drive (if it's dark, obviously)!

Fiddling with headlight switch on the dash makes no difference. Ditto stalk. Something is still alive in the headlight switch because I get the 'lights on' chime if I take the keys out with the switch in the 'on' position.

A friend suggested a fused relay - but according to the manual there is no relay for the headlights.

Any ideas???
 






try the park lamp relay.... sounds like fused contacts.
