Hey Guys!

I sent the 924 to an Electritian to fix some wires, that were causing a short under the dashboard. He also replaced my Headlight relay.

So now, there are no problems, but when i turn the headlights on, my rear lights wont go on, except only one light.

This only light also turns on when i leave the truning signal on, after shutting her down. I had this problem since i bought her.

I tried to see if there is an unplugged wire at the back of the switch, but there isnt. My lights are working, ive checked them.

Just a Remark: I have added bulbs to the unused sockets, so i have 4 lights lit on at night, instead of 2.

Its really dangerous to drive at night like this!

Thanx in Advance

It is not a fault; the tail light and front side-light are meant to come on when you turn the ignition off and leave the turn signal on.

If the turn signal was to the left the left-hand lights come on and same for the right-hand side.

I think it's because of a law in Germany where if you park on the side of the road at night you need to have tail and side lights on the opposite side of the car.

Wow! I always wondered why the 924 did that. That's a great bit of information there. I always thought my relay was just lazy when they car was off. The hazards do blink though when the car's off.

that reminds me I need to fix my
driving lights. You didnt pay him to much did
you he needs to fix the lights sgsin in the back.
I would have thought it was a lazy relay too.
so thats a road law over there much like our hazard
law. I know they have you use your hazards if
your in an emergency.
