    please help!

    So, I got home and parked my car on the driveway and realised i left my lights on, but when i went to turn them off the switch was already off and turns out just my right hand park and tail lights were still on..
    anyone had this happen before? I disconnected them so i didnt drain the battery.
    any help much appreciated.

    I dont think so i checked and it seems to be normal, though being the idiot i am when i disconnected them the wires touched a bulb and it sparked now the right hand park and tail light dont work at all and the right hand side repeater flashes really quickly so i assume i blew a fuse?

    Do you mean the indicator stick? because that was in the middle when they were on and i flicked it to left and right and back to middle left hand works normal right hand flashes quickly and when i put it back in the middle its the same as it was

    Alright. Pretty sure when you turn the car off then have the indicator on it leaves the parking lights on on that side, so was just an idea

    sortofbigbj is correct the indicators leave the parking lights on on that sise. Did you check with the ignition OFF/ otherwise you're not really testing the theory!
