Parking lights not working
 

I have a weird problem. The parking lights on my X does not work. There are no faults on the OBD.
There are 4 positions on the light switch. Here are the results:
Auto: All lights are ON automatically when the proper darkness in sensed
Off: All lights are OFF
Park: All lights are OFF
Full: All lights are ON

*All lights = tail lights, head lights, license plate lights & in-dash lights
The fog lights works when activated in the Auto & Full positions.

Could it be a fuse/module? I've tested it with a voltage meter and found that no electrical current is received with the switch in the PARK position. Also, electrical voltage fluctuates in the FULL position causing the tail lights to flicker ever so slightly (barely noticeable).

Any ideas?

is your light switch bad?


Post up pics of that white/black 5 speed man, very jealous because i couldnt find a white 5 speed when I was looking for mine! And you have NAV the only option i'm missing!

I'll check the switch. Here is pic I posted a while back. It looks exactly the same today.

wow, looks amazing, 4.6is kit, running boards, and 19" 132s. So sexy.

The thing about the manual trans models is that you're basically stuck with whatever you find, and not all are loaded up like ours are, I've seen quite a few with manual cimate controls too

there are no fuses for the lights, they are controled with the LCM. the LCM checks the light switch (S8) for the ground to detect the position of the switch, and it seems that the LCM is working - you get the lights to operate... but one positon in the switch is not operating... to test the theory of a faulty switch, you might want to pull the switch out, and swap the leads feeding the auto function with the manual function, jsut to see if anything happens... I do not have access to WDS at work, but the wires are easily traceable...

are you capable of performing this test?

Yes, I can perform that test. I will write an update when I've to completed it. Thanks for the insight. Much appreciated.
