Chris W. Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Hey all The front marker lights and tail lights on my 93 Loyale won't turn off with the switch or when the car is turned off:cornfuzz: Have any of you had to deal with this issue? Is there a relay between the switch and the lights? I looked at the Haynes manual, but as usual the information was lacking...Any thoughts or comments would be much appreciated! Cheers, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justyfied Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 hey, are you sure that you did not switch the parking lights on with the switch located on top of the steering colum? that would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSNRG Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Yes check the park light switch, that should be it, as described above a small rocker type switch on top of the steering column. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calebz Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 I have gotten 2 soobs really cheap because of that switch.. was told by both owners that it had 'wiring problems' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris W. Posted January 10, 2004 Author Share Posted January 10, 2004 Oh my heavens, thats too easy! I just sent the wife out with the Loyale, as it is superior (with studs) to her Yukon driving on the icy/slushy roads of our subdivision....She even showed me that she could take off the negative battery cable when she got to where she was going... As soon as she gets back I'll check that switch, I bet thats what it is! Gotta get off night shift it's making me dim:dead: Thanks much!

justyfied Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 we all have our moments. soobs are alittle different like that. the parking light toggle and the headlights turning off with the ignition. i used to think that soobs had daytime running lights long before anyone else did. lol.

Erik R Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Chris W., I have done the same thing.............after "detailing" my car, the park lights would myteriously be lit..........especially when bumped while wiping the dust off the dash cluster.

Chris W. Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 Well folks Yes indeed, it was the (suspected) switch, again too easy! A cool side note: I told the wife that I found the answer to the problem by posting on USMB, and she said "maybe that isn't such a bad site after all"...Seems I spend a little too much time here Thanks again!

WJM Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 hello guys has anyone seen tail lights that will flash even when the hazard lights are switched off?? And at a different frequency than the hazards ? I think my Outback is trying to tell me something!! any help will be greatly appreciated! Try the new gen forum for that..... Speaking of that switch for the P lights....we had a customer come into NAPA just for the reason of "why wont my lights go off?" I walked out, seen the switch, and said "SUBARU has this nifty switch right here....*off*....see? Sometimes you might bump it accidentally....etc..." "Wow, didnt know that....strange, but neat. Thanks...." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpholz Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 LMAO! i know when i very first got my xt i did the usual and played with every switch and gadget in the car and since the paint had faded on the parking light and hazard light switches i just remember switching them on and off a million times going "what the hell are these?!" and later going "that car is broke the lights wont turn off!!!":lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 yep, my family and I were stumped by that switch once. it was in my mom's '92 legacy. we ended up pulling the fuse for a few days until I found the switch (that was before I was into these forums....).

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Not All Loyales got that Switch, isn`t it? ... My 1985 Models Doesn`t have it, Back to the Steering there`s Just a Top Mounted Push / Pull Button marked with a Triangle, to Switch On / Off the Parking Blinker Lights... The Only "Weird" Switch I`ve Found, is that the Main HeadLamps` Switch has another -Hidden- Position, more Left than Off... if you Press the Switch and then Turn it Left, it will Turn On the Side Markers / Tail Lights \ License Plate`s Lights Without turning On the Dashboards` Lights. But my Loyales got the Main HeadLamps` Switch mounted on the Dash, not on the Steerin` Column. Kind Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
