I have just bought Ford Kuga 1.5 TDCi 17 plate. Lights control switch off position but lights come on automatically? Recently had rear parking sensors fitted is this relevant? Or just a good extra?

STOP and PARK LPS will be tail lights.

ILLUM and GAUGES will.be dash lights.



STOP
Stop/CHMSL, Stoplamps

GAUGES
IP Cluster, DRL Relay, DRL Module, HDLP Switch, Keyless Entry Illumination, Low Coolant Module, CHIME Module, DRAB Module

PARK LPS
License Plate Lamp, Parking Lamps, Taillamps, Front Sidemarkers, Glove Box Ashtray

ILLUM
LP Cluster, HVAC Controls, RR HVAC Controls, IP Switches, Radio Illumination, Door Switch Illumination

Yes I would agree the trans selector switch has failed, provided the wiring is good.
The license plate lights would be on a different circuit tied into the regular tail lights.

Park, Tail, Marker Lamps, and License
The park, tail and marker lamps, including the license lamps, turn on when the headlamp switch is placed in either the PARK or the HEAD position, or anytime the headlamps are requested. The RT I/P #1 fuse in the RH I/P fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to both the park lamp relay switch contacts and to the park lamp relay coil circuit. The park lamp relay coil is controlled by the body control module (BCM). When the headlamp switch is placed in the PARK position, the BCM energizes the park lamp relay coil control circuit.
Current flows from the park lamp relay switch to both front and rear park lamp fuses and to their respective park/tail lamps. The front park lamps are grounded at G101. The rear park lamps are grounded at G302. The license plate lamps are a part of the rear park lamp circuit and are grounded at G302. The inadvertent power control feature prevents the park lamps from remaining on more than 10 minutes if left on. If the park lamps are turned on after the ignition switch has been turned OFF, or is in the ACCY position, they will remain on until turned off or until the battery runs dead.

Did you the REAR PARK LP fuse 15 amp in the right insturment panel fuse box.
