strange electrical gremlins

Featured Replies

When I have been on a journey with lights on and I turn the car off the alarm sounds that I have left my car lights on even though I have turned it off and the rear drivers side lights are on to get it to stop I have to switch car back on then turn light switch off then on again to turn it off it usually only happens on my first journey of the day has anybody else had this problem?

How old is the battery? Might need a new one.

So basically rear drivers tail lights are staying on when I turn lights off

Could be a bad earth or ecm issue. Have you had the car scanned for fault codes.
