General Side lights on all the time - help please?

[adrgoo]

Help please! Hello everyone, the side lights on my ducato maxi 2.8jtd (rapido motorhome) stay on all of the time when I remove the ignition key. They operate correctly on the usual control switch when the ignition key is set to the first position but as soon as its removed they all stay on. I have completely disconnected the alarm system and the fault remains, so I guess the problem is elsewhere. Can anyone help??

Hi. Sold my JTD motor home a while back but from memory there is a little black button on the bezel of the ignition, the idea is you push it in before removing the key this leaves the parking lights on, maybe it’s stuck, WD40 it.

If you turn the key past off, ie anticlock, the sidelights are meant to come on.

Thanks for your help. Both of you were bang on the money. I was not aware of the park function but when I looked closer I could see that the steering column covers were out of position and were pressing the little interlock button down. When I removed the key in what I thought was the off position it was actually the park position..........doh!......thanks again
