Hi...anyone out there know why my parking lights on my 91 Chrysler NY won't go off? Have to disconnect battery so it won't drain. Lights are off. Thanks. Marty

Sounds like defective light switch to me. Or you have an unintentional ground in the wiring harness---let's hope not.

Hey there...thanks for the fast answer. It's the strangest thing. I think it may have something to do with the alarm system. Is there a way to dis-engage the alarm system completely? When you get out of the car...the warning bell is dinging because of the running lights, but the switch is turned off inside the car. Also, the headlights are not on; just the lower white lamps and the side amber ones. Thanks again for your help. Marty

Well not a bad theory but then why wouldn't the alarm be sounding as part of its desire to keep your lights on?
 
I'm sure a car audio shop could disarm your alarm quite easily but I don't have the wiring schematic, so I'm in the dark on that, no pun intended.

Programing by the_big_al

Not sure how to phrase this question, but I'll do my best.
 
I am looking to see how or if there is a way to program how my vehicle locks/unlocks the doors when it is placed in drive or park, how the lights flash when I hit the lock button on my fob remote and also how the horn sounds when the lock or unlock button is hit.
 
My vehicle is a 2004 Chevy Astro Cargo Van with a keyless entry system. I have figured out how to program new remotes, but I also wonder if there is a way to manage the other settings. I know that on my Impala I just use the radio to set all these settings, but my Astro has the old style (90's style) AM FM head unit. I'm almost postive there is a way to personalize these settings, but I'm not sure how to do it beyond programng the key fobs to work with the vehicle. Anyone out there know how to do this? If you have a late 90's early early 00's GM vehicle with the old Delco head unit with Keyless entry (especially GM trucks), I am sure they are programed in the same way. The instructions I found for the fob remotes were actually for an '01 Silverado

Same as dmitch2 - Miata will not start lights flash by gflock

Miata with manual transmission will not start, running lights and radio light flashes, tried jump start, still no go. Previous owner installed an after-market anti-theft device. Push start will get it running, lights continue to flash. Can anyone offer advice?? Let me know - thanks!! Greg

Check to make sure your battery voltage is good, looking for about 13volts. If your battery is low many weird things can happen. Assuming that is good, then I would suspect that anti-theft device.

I dont know what i did and i must have did something when i tried to change the dome light. Both interior lights are not working, my remote wont lock or unlock the doors and the trunk unless the car is on. The windows and door locks also wont operate unless the car is on. The trunk and hood icons are on when the doors open and off when the doors are closed. what did i do to make this happen and how can i fix this?

You blew a fuse. You changed the bulb with the door open, which means the light socket was 'hot' and you shorted it out, blowing a fuse.
