As above, I bet youve recently been doing a bit of dusting around the dash and caught the rocker switch

My old golf used to leave parking lights if I left an indicator on and turned the engine off. Not tested this on my Subaru though. But as said above its more likely just your parking light switch, if you have one, on top of the steering wheel.

In English please?

And I LOVE your idea: maybe ALL of us who spend HOURS on here answering questions, sometimes the same ones over and over, maybe we should ALL withdraw and answer no more?

Or did you think ALL my 21,000 posts were pointless?

Mine was the reason I rebuilt, instead of breaking: couldn't lose THAT little guy!
