Got back to my car and found the side lights still on.
The switch says they are off so I've had to disconect the earth on the battery.
Have I got a stuck relay or is something wet, it's been p*ssing it down all day. If it's a stuck relay where is it on a MY98 uk Wagon

I didn't answer because
1 I was eating my tea
2 I went to check it out
3 If anyone wants to accuse me of being a complete plonker I have no defense whatsoever.
Thankyou all, I will think of a more challenging one next time.

It pains me to say so but yes.

Talking

This one catches me out at least once a month.

I'm like a goldfish, everytime I swim around the bowl all the stuff I see is new to me. It has advantages and disadvantages but at least it gives everyone else a laugh.
