Anyone else ever have this issue? They won't turn off with the switch off. The even stay on with the ignition off and keys out. Also, headlights not turning on. I haven't started looking as I just arrived home and my wife told me about this.

Hi, have you checked the switch on top of the steering column? Sometimes that gets accidentally flipped on and then the parking lights stay on.

That was it. I didn't even know there was a switch there as this is my wife's vehicle and I am used to older subaru's. Thank you very much. You probably saved me many hours of hunting down a ghost.

Glad you found the switch. It's sort of hidden away back behind the steering wheel. Often people bump it on such as when cleaning the car. It seems like kind of a weird switch to have, I mean do other makes have that kind of switch?

Heh Heh another virgin down.

Known by Subie techs as the battery kill switch.

The other day my son called me (he has a '95 Legacy) that his girlfriend's '02 Outback's parking lights were on. The switch was on. I remember picking up my '92 Legacy years ago from a GM dealership - they told me the parking lights were stuck on and they'd have to work on it. Told them where the switch was. I only knew about the switch after my mother's (also a '92 Legacy) were stuck on after she cleaned the inside of the car, likely accidentally hitting the switch.
