Why do parking lights stay on?

Parking lights usually don't stay on. They are typically turned on manually by the driver when the vehicle is parked in areas with no street lighting or poor visibility, and are designed to turn off when the vehicle's ignition is turned on or the headlight switch is activated.

If the parking lights do not turn off when they are supposed to, it could be due to a malfunctioning switch, wiring issue, or a problem with the vehicle's electrical system. In such cases, it is recommended to consult with a qualified mechanic or auto electrician to diagnose and fix the underlying cause.
