tc11003 Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 yesterday somewhere around 4 or 5 pm my parking lights went on by themselves. i couldnt shut them, so i had to disconnect the neg batt cable and it must have reset itself. how could this happen??? should i get a priest and have her exorcised?

Vincent Vega Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I would skip the priest and clean the headlight switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tomt Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 I've had what I think is the same thing happen. See if you turned on your fog lights by mistake. Turn them off and the parking lights will go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 About 3 weeks ago as I was walking away from my '91 I looked back and all of the tail lights or brake lights were on and nothing else. I checked a couple of things and nothing would make them go out. I disconnected the large connector near the antenna and left it that way for a while. The next day I reconnected the connector and everything has been good since. Gremlins maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnelle Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I've about decided that Lucas electrics were really a dream as compared to the nightmare that a Reatta can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Greg Ross Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Ed,I had a '68 Rover TC 2000 and theres' no comparison. I'd take the Reatta any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest F14CRAZY Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I would think that the relay that controls the parking lights is bad. Same for the gentleman with faulty brake lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry yarnell Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Are you SURE they're running lights,and not brake lights? Are the front running lights on?A common problem is the adjustment of the brake switch causing the brake lights to be on after exiting the car.
