my parking lights used to work but now when I try and put them on the key won't turn enough in the ignition to switch them on. I tried a bit of force but it won't budge..don't want to use to much force..don't want to break anything. Anyone any suggests to what it might be. The key works fine

You pressing the button in?

yes

Sounds like the buttons broken, or the mechanisms broken. Guess you could replace it with a scrap one.

I've never tried it with turning the lights 'on' but more from a position of turning the headlamps 'off', have you tried doing it in this direction?

they worked again last night so i am guessing the button must be faulty

Sounds like it, dunno how easy it would be to replace, never really investigated it.

i never managed to get it working on mine
