Keb Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Our front and rear parking lights won't go off. We have to pull the fuse. We let grandson clean the dash area with wet sponge, and thereafter the lights apparently are always on, killing battery. Is this part available, easy to fix? Is spraying with electrical lube like LPS a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manarius Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Switch on top of steering wheel - turn it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ron917 Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 There is a parking light switch on top of your steering column. You have to scootch up on the seat and look through the steering wheel to see it, or you can see it when standing outside the car. Turn the switch off, and the parking lights will go out. Your grandson hit the switch when he was cleaning the dash. It happens to every Subaru owner at least once. Welcome to the club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikem Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Sure, go ahead and spray the grandson with LPS. I forget whether LPS 3 or LPS 4 is best. Twice daily should do just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I did that one to myself. I was waiting for my wife and cleaning the car with a rag. When she came out the lights were acting funny. Luckily I knew where I just been cleaning. The one I do now and then that makes me feel senile is to hit the fogligght switch and drive around with them on like a simpleton for a week or so. That little warning light is hidden behind my Forester steering wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
