Lights staying on??

Post by Weiner »

I got a new battery for my '89 Lux and my brother replaced some of the cables as they were a bit worse for wear, and now the parkers stay on constantly.

Not sure what he did as I wasn't there when he did it but need to know what it could be.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

i think the problem might be with your brother...


but exactly which cables did he replace? the main cables to the bat or some smaller cables within the engine bay?

A couple of the smaller cables to the battery, might have to get him to fix the bloody thing himself :D

Inadvertently bypassed the switch and wired them straight to the battery maybe?

It might be worth following the cables he replaced and see if they go to the parkers.

Cheers, I will check that when I am able too, I shouldn't let him near the keys of the thing :armsup:
