Don't remember seeing parking lights on but I'll check to make sure the swwitch isn't pushed in. Thanks.

I don't knowwhat the vitgin switch is, bought hte car used, have no owner's manual. The battery is now dead again. Any ideas?

It all started when the front left mudflap (closest to the front of the car drivers side) started coming off, I couldn't get it off and it twisted itself (we had lots of snow) until it was parallel to the fender. Then, had to roll over the icy snow and it came off. Headlights were ok then, but the other problems started around then. Found the interlocker override and shifted the car. So went to a gas station (with brake pedal turning off heater) he checked fuse in main box and said one A/C fuse didn't work. Took it out, checked it outside the fuse box, it worked. Put it back in and put it in tight, it worked. All the other stuff worked too (radio, brake pedal, heater, gear shift). Drove it home, all fine. Next day, battery was dead. Jumped it, drove around for a while, all ok. Car sat for couple of hours, went to do laundry, sat for couple of hours - battery stone cold dead. When we attached the cables again - the headlights came on, didn't think much of it. Then it started to smoke near the main fuse box, didn't do that the last time it was jumped. Shut it off, went back home to find wiring diagrams. I told my friend who helps me with this stuff about the fuses. So we went back to the car, pulled the two fuses for the A/C out of the main box, no smoking but the headlight thing started (or it started when the guy pushed in the fuse - it was daylight then I might not have noticed the headlights on). Turn the car to on, headlights go off, turn the car off, headlights come on, the switch has zero effect ineither condition. There is some corrosion at the wires under the main fuse box.....

Have a weird problem '95 Subaru Impreza Outback. Have probably a bad ground somewhere because the radio turns itself off ansd on, when you hit the brakes it can turn off the heater fan and if the fan is off, the gear shift stays locked. I can deal with that, but in trying to fix that (battery drained) discovered that when you turn the car off the headlights come on and the switch won't turn them off. if you turn the car off, the headlights come on and the switch stil won't turn them off. Any ideas and if it's the headlight switch on hte steering column, how do you change it? Please help, can't drive the car at night.......
