    Vehicle : Vectra SRi 150 Hatch

    Trim : SRi

    Engine : Z19DTH

    Year : 2008

    Mileage : 69'000

    Default Tail lights constantly on...

    Hi guys, bit of a strange one, the other night I noticed my tail lights where on even though the light switch was in the off position, I've been checking them since and it would seem as soon as I turn the ignition on the tail lights come on and stay on until ignition is off again.

    Not sure why this is happening? Only the tail lights are coming on, no font side lights etc... and I'm sure this didn't always happen (owned the vec for around 5 months now)

    I thought perhaps the alternator was overcharging the battery but its only around a year old according to paper work which came with the car and looks rather new still, and its covered less than 7k + the engine doesn't have to be running for the lights to come on. I will be testing it with a volt meter to make sure but until then anyone got any ideas?

    Never thought of that Ken, I will plug the laptop in and double check I haven't turned it on by mistake!

    good call Ken! somehow the daytime running lights where set to 'version 2' what ever that means, certainly don't remember activating it, any how the lights are now off!

    is this somethign that has just happened or has someone been playing with the car?

    try lifting the brake pedal manually, does this make a difference?

    have you tried disconnecting your battery for 5mins? (if the car is pre2005, make sure you have your radio code first!)
