Front and back lights turning on when parked.

2011 Vauxhall Astra 1.4 petrol

Car: Vauxhall Astra
Year: 2011
Variant: 1.4 petrol

Categories: Electrics, ECU, Warnings & Lights

When car is parked and locked, light switch is left off but sometimes car itself turning lights on. No matter what possition I am leaving lights switch on, no matter when I am switching them off (after or before turning ignition off). It seems like electrics issue but its not fuses - I have replaced them to new.

Sure it's not parking lights that are on and are operated through the indicator switch when car switched off and locked ? , I.E switch in right / left position puts that side on

Sure its not parking lights.

Come back home, laft car parked and locked on driveway

Lights switch - left on position OFF (0)

BUT

Randomly and frequently car itself is turning lights on (daytime running lights)

Its happening no matter when I am switching lights OFF (after or before turning ignition OFF).

Coming back to car to turn them OFF but switch not working.

I am turning ignition ON and OFF as the only way to make lights turning OFF.

Last weekend I've left lights switch on position 1, and then turned engine OFF. lights did not turn on during weekend. But after some driving this week the issue is back

Make sure the indicator switch is in middle / neutral position . Otherwise you need an auto electrician
