Mario500 Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Subaru Legacy GT 1997 * Driving to work the other day my display lights went out and since I have a GPS that displays speed I didn't worry too much about it. They came back on by themselves about 15 minutes later. (The switch didn't do anything.) Since that morning I can't turn off my lights. Must pull the fuse. Do I need a new light switch and if so is it something the average guy can do? If it's not that then what could it be? I'm not rolling in enough bucks to start replacing items to see if it fixes things. Any advice would be extremely appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Donated broknindarkagain Posted November 4, 2011 I Donated Share Posted November 4, 2011 Probably the dimmer switch has gone bad. IDK how easy it is to replace because I've never done it myself -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

johnegg Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 Since that morning I can't turn off my lights. Must pull the fuse. which lights? the head lights or the ''parking lights''? check the switch on top of the steering column. it turns on the parking lights and they stay on even when the car is off until you flip the switch again or the battery goes dead.
