My 1987 Gl Side marker lights won't go off unless I pull the fuse or disconnect the battery . I have no idea where to start with this, any thoughts?

Turn off the parking light switch on top of the steering column

 

Welcome to the subaru world.  Consider your cherry popped

  Well thanks for the help , I spent 2 hour playing with it.

"Welcome to the subaru world. Consider your cherry popped" !

they dont call it the virgin switch for nuthin

Ah yes THAT  switch.

it happens that often?

it happen to me when  bought my wagon... but i found the switch quickly...

Well if you never wipe the dust off your instrument cluster, the top of the steering column, the dash and generally keeping your hands away from the steering wheel area you got nothing to worry about.

Newbie switch lol

100 times a year fore me i get asked that ?

it can even happen to non-virgins who don't pay attention.

either that or my virginity grew back???????????

 

i read about it before i actually was caught by it.

i knew it was there and had never had a problem.

but then one day it hit it by accident and didn't know it.

 

my neighbor knocked on my door that evening and told me my parking lights were on.

thankfully the battery was not dead yet.
