Subaru Forester 2001. Parking lights stay on when car is turned off. Lights go off only when fuse removed. Light switch on steering column was changed to no effect. Separately, AC, fan and heater have stopped working. First, for a couple days they were working sporadically. During these few days the clock, which hadn't worked for 9 years, came on briefly at times. Now AC, fan, heater and clock don't work at all. All fuses seem OK.

2008 Subaru Forester. The parking lights and rear tail lights stay on after I turn off the key?
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!!

look on top of the steering column right behind the steering wheel. You will see a switch that has the letter P on it. Turn it off.

Did you check the switch on top of the steering column? It will turn on your parking lamps separately from the headlamp switch, and it is in the customary position for a hazard flasher switch on Japanese cars - maybe someone bumped it by accident or turned it on when trying to get the 4-way flashers to work.

2004 Subaru Forester
If the '04 has the same setup as the '00, then there should be a switch on the top of the steering column that will turn the parking lights on or off even if the key is removed. Hope this helps.

Tail lights
There is a switch on top of the steering column that switches the parking light facility on and off. Check that this switch is not in the on position . If it is on then your side lights will stay on even if you turn the lights off.

2007 Forester Parking Lights
I read my owner's manual in a more deliberative manner and found that there is a Parking Light switch on the steering wheel column that I had never seen before. Apparently, when I was cleaning my care, I inadvertently flicked that switch. Good thing I didn't go to the auto repair shop and ask for them to fix it! :)
