General lights on
Hi 
Its a camchain not prone to failures
No idea with the dash though
The main lights are on the wiperstalk..
Just on - off
DRL's are front only.. nothing at rear

Keys out and in your pocket..
Disconnect the battery Negative lead overnight
It might just reset something..
Did you know the car before it was parked?
The bodycomputer tends to be responsible for switching the lights..
Certain threads on here have outlined that it isnt bulletproof

Do a search of this forum and you'll find others have had similar issues - which seem to relate to the main computer that controls everything needing a dealer to reset it. Or just be happy that the lights are always on...
To search the forum (not this thread) go to the Panda home page (here https://www.fiatforum.com/panda-iii/ )and then follow the link at the top right, underneath the row of 'Members motors' photos. it is very good and will find all sorts of useful things

It should control the function of tail lights. Dip beam and main beam
Check if it 'flashes' main beam reliably..
Trying to rule out a bad stalk..
But it could well be the body computer at fault.. as already mentioned

It operates main beam by pulling towards you. But rotating the end of the stalk should allow you to turn the headlights on and off. What happens when you do that?
Not an Mot fail - look at all those Volvos out there

I must admit I was a bit confused by the FIAT lighting arrangement when I first got mine - possibly because I initially thought there was no door-open/lights-on buzzer, but it doesn't need one as I now know
