    tail light wont turn off

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    at least I had a planned day off tomorrow...

    My right rear tail light wont turn off after I parked the car. I tried turning the main switch on and off a few times and turned off the timed lights that stay on after your arm the alarm.

    Battery is dead. I'm getting a jump tomorrow in order for me to drive it to my local shop.

    What could this be?

    by the way we did have about 2 inches of snow last night and the car was parked outside last night. I have never had any electrical issues with this car.

    might be a good time to replace my 5 year old battery... Any ideas for a light weight battery that crancks the same or better than stock?

    didn't check that but I don't recall hearing the indicator or seeing the front turn signal on.

    My brake lights got stuck on before. But only one light, that's weird. look into replacing that switch under the dash. It will only take u 30min or less to fix. Mine even came with directions.

    Ding ding!
    This is most likely the cause. All cars in Europe have a single side parking light activated by putting the blinker in the left or right detent position.
