Parking lights are on, car won't start - 2007 Jaguar XKR Convertible

Faulty switch, or you have a Body control Module communication issue. You need an auto-electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to check live data and communication between all the systems.

Or it is the Parking Light secret switch!!

Hello. It seems either a relay is malfunctioning and/or the headlamp switch in your lighting system is at fault. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

What year and what model.

I would start with the battery. It could have a dead cell or bad cable connections.
I would take it out and have it tested.

2012 Escape, parking lights won't shut off

check the switch or relay system of the vehicle

parking light switch on top of steering column?

The parking light may go out if both headlights are out, depending if they're wired to the same fuse. It sounds like there may be a blown fuse in the dash, take it in to mechanic and it should be a quick fix Wiring harness has come loose, blown bulbs, or bad wire.
