Regardless of what I do the parking lights stay on after shutting off the car. drains the battery overnight. Battery is less than 2 years old. Any ideas???????
Go out and purchase a North American built vehicle.
Actually, it could be the connection inside of the switch, inside of the handle on the steering column.
These do wearout and do need to be replaced, the cost . . . I have no idea but it will not be cheep!
If it is still under warranty, call your dealership mechanic and ask them, there could be a recall that you have not received info on.
Good luck

650 milliamp is too much. The Beetles had problems with the microswitches in the door latches that tell the convienience module if the doors are opened or closed. If it doesn't see the right signal the computer wont go into sleep mode an it will stay powered up draining the battery. VW techs can check the output of these switches to see if they are working right with their scan tools.

Get under the dash ad look at your brake pedal lever. You will see a stop light switch that screww into a bracket with a 'button' sticking out of it. if pulling up on the brake pedal (even slightly) solves your problem, then the switch needs adjusting closer to the brake lever. If adjusting does not stop problem then replacement of brake light switch may be required.

Hey,
take a look at www.airbagmodul.com
They're working in Airbag-Simulators and Occupancy Sensor-Simulators.

Hi David J Dunworth, check the relay for the parking lights
maybe the contacts in the relay are sticking
check when parking lights are switched off if any voltage is going to the relay's coil via the connector socket point that the relay pushes into .
Us a 12v dc probe .
or volt meter / multimeter .
