Bugeye WRX with parking lights stuck on? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

jpalamar · 02-01-2010, 09:14 AM

So my buddy has a WRX, I think an 04 but I'm not positive. His parking lights are stuck on unless he pulls the fuse under the hood. No issues with turn signals or brake lights. No blowing fuses so it isn't shorting.

I'm assuming there is a bad switch or relay? Any suggestions or adivse where the relays may be? I know nothing about these cars and he isn't a highly mechanical either. Don't wanna go taking crap apart for nothing since it is cold out.

Thanks!

He probably hit the switch that is on top of the steering column.

He come over to fix it on Saturday but it was so cold I never went outside to check. I assumed that was something he checked on his own. Hopefully it is something that simple though.

clint4502 · 02-26-2010, 06:20 PM

i think everyone with a subaru has asked themselves "why are my parking lights still on" then pondered which button or switch they played with that caused their lights to stay on
