Advice, please... the Scooby's side-lights won't switch off. Makes no difference if ignition is on or off, and light control stalk doesn't switch them off. I had just finished washing the car when I noticed this - surely that can't be coincidence? Assuming it's water that's done this - any tips on fixing it?

This should probably be in "Lighting/electrical", but General gets more views. Apologies, but I really don't want a flat battery from this!

Damn, that was quick thinking Phil. Bingo. That solved it. I knew I should get around to reading what that switch was for! Can't think when I'd actually want to use the parking light control, but hey...

Thanks, m8...

Mods - thanks, can move to "Electrical" or delete, job done.
