Yesterday water came in through my clogged sunroof. Now when I get out of car and turn lights off and take key out of it my parking lights stay on. I have tried to take battery cables off to reset. Now I am taking two fuses out under the hood so parking lights will go off so my battery does not drain.

Hello,

I would check fuse #40 and #5 which control the switch and general lighting module. Next I would unplug the headlight switch to see if they go out. Here is a guide to help you test the fuses and the fuse location as well as the running light wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find.
