One Side Light/rear Light On - Parking Light Mode?

[mcshane]

I was cleaning the sand from the front of our galaxy (03 diesal ghia model) and on turning off the dyson I could hear the 'lights on' warning buzzer as the drivers door was open. The front left sidelight and rear left brake lights are on. Turning the lights on and off doesn't turn them off, they're on when the car is locked. It looks light a parking mode (ie lights on so people don't crash into you) but I can't find any mention of this in the handbook, and can't find any control to turn them off! Clearly I knocked something when cleaning, a lesson to be learnt there I'm sure.

 

Anyhow - anyone know how to turn the lights off?

It's possible your indicator stalk is still biased to the side that the parking lights are on. This is a feature on many modern cars - you can turn the sidelights on one side only with the indicator stalk depending on which side of the road you are parked.

That work just fine - the stalk was down, turning it neutral made the lights go off.

 

Thanks very much!
