'07 GP Parking lights always stay on.

[mentalattica]

Hello,

No matter what, unless I pull the fuse in the passenger side fuse box, or the J-style fuse #26 under the hood my parking lights and tail lights will not go off what so ever. I've tried turning them off from the head light switch to no avail.

The problem started when I was installing a wired FM modulator (for ipods etc...) it was night time and I mistook the "Dimmer?" wire (solid gray wire 4th from the end on the top row) in the radio harness for an accessory wire because when I'd turn the key on I'd get power and vice versa when I turned it off. So I wired everything tapping into that wire for power. The next morning when I finished the installation the modulator didn't work, nor was that wire getting any power. I found that that wire only got power when the headlights were on. I finally did research to find there is no acc. wire in the radio harness and found the correct wire to tap into in the fuse pannel.

Everything worked fine, but the parking lights and tail lights won't go off. I uninstalled the FM modulator and put everything back to factory state and still the lights won't turn off.

Since then, today:
*I unhooked all 3 inputs to the BCM
*Totally unhooked the Headlight switch
*swapped out all of the relays in the fuse box under the hood
*checked all fuses
*unhooked the harness mounted above the fuse panel
*pulled the panel of wires under the fuse panel (they have a bolt in the center)
*unhooked "yellow" harness on each side of the dashboard

Nothing in the car works now because I"ve unhooked everything I could think of, it won't even start but the parking lights are still on

Ideas or suggestions?

You May Have Short Circuted The Lights

Thanks for the reply. After hooking everything back up I went over both of the wires that I used in this installation. They aren't bare or touching anything. I'm at a complete loss of ideas.

So The Lights Are Still On

I found the culprit, there was a fuse out of place . It was creating some sort of circuit causing the lights to stay on. How it got put out of place beats me. I don't remember touching any fuses prior to the lights staying on, but I could be wrong. Thanks for you help again, it's good to know help is awaiting @ Automotive forums.com
