vr6guy 29 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Check you havent left your indicator stalk on when parked... When engine is turned off and indictor stalk is pushed into position it will bring on the "parking light" so if its in position to signal right then your side lights would be on. Check that first Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 First I'd disconnect the headlight switch to see if that's at fault. Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 It looks like you're gonna have to start at the headlight plug with a multi meter and work backwards testing the wires, you might have some corrosion in 1 or more connectors allowing the light to get a permanent live feed.

Lukey. 381 Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Why fuse 21? That's for interior light, central locking and sunroof. If you've pulled the headlight fuse and the light has gone out you at least know that the fault doesn't lie from the fuse box to the lights, its somewhere up to the fuse box.
