Suzuki Cultus "possessed Parklights"

neville48, Mar 2, 7:23pm
the park-lights of my cultus come on by themselves in the middle of the night and then turn themselves off again. while they are on you cannot turn the switch on and off to stop them. this happens while sitting, not driving and you come out in the morn and the battery nearly flat and they turn off again right before your very eyes. The auto elec says he cannot find the fault unless its there when he looks at it but its so hit and miss that !. Any thoughts as to what next. Please do not suggest an exorcism,cheers.

You could have another switch fitted so that all power to the lights can be cut making it impossible for them to come on. An auto electrision should be able to do that fairly easily.

I wouldn't call that a repair.

But it IS a fix.

seen it b4 on a ford trader-was water entry and damaged wiring by park light relay allowing relay to earth intermittently.

Faulty headlight switch. Common problem with Suzuki's

Are you talking about the switch on the end of the stalk or the relay that the wiring goes into !

Switch, not the relay.
