Just come back from a long journey and for some reason the tail lights remain lit although ignition and all switches are off. Confused and puzzled. Any thoughts?
Searched wiki and the forum but couldn't find the answer.
Thanks in advance

Re: Tail lights won't turn off
It's almost certainly going to be the headlight switch failing.
I'd start by taking the connector off the back of the switch in th dash and see if the lights go out then work on from there..
..... but I would have thought that the front side lights would also be on?
