HELP with parking lights not turning off!
So i just came home from San Francisco and when i turn my car off i noticed my parking lights won't turn off. I checked all my fuses and they all seem fine. i did disable the DRL so i went to plug that back in thinking it would've been the problem but they still won't turn off. anyone else ever run into this problem? any help would be great. thanks in advance!

can't offer much help for the actual problem. but you should find the fuse for your parking lights and pull it out. at least that way you won't drain your battery.

problem fixed. it WAS the switch on the stearing column. my brother was driving it earlier and parked in front of my aunts house to load up and he tried to hit the hazard button not knowing that the actual hazard button is between the 2 vents on the dash and not the switch on the stearing column. man was i freaking out! luckily it wasn't something very major. thanks again for all your help!

Popped my cherry on the first day of ownership.

haha, I wondered for the first few days and then bumped it I think getting out of the car to go to work. Luckily I was still in the mindset from my old car and had a portable jump start thing with me at all times
Hurray, it's Ian!!
