My parking lights come on by themselves which causes the battery to go dead

Hi Soapy,

Did you confirm it is the parking lights and not the brake lights?

Are front side lamps being turned on as well?

The parking and taillights are operated by a taillight relay located in dashfuse box. This relay could be bad and sticking so is self operating to turn the lights on.

Try replacing it to test.
