All exterior and interior lights function properly except during this condition: if I turn off the vehicle with the turn signals still active (right or left) the right and only right front and rear marker lights will illuminate, and stay on until the turn signal switch is returned to the resting position. This occurs if the headlights are on, or off. I have been referring to the service manual and cleaning grounds, no change as if yet. Thinking I may have an electrical short to hot, bad blinker, or faulty switch? Anyone ever expereance this anomaly? Thoughts?

Thanks!

It's called parking lights... In some places around the world it's so that when you park on the street at night, people don't hit your vehicle, so you turn the stalk to whichever side is facing into the street.

go figure, learn something new every day. All of the European vehicles I have owned in the past would power all 4 parking lights when selected. I wonder why it's only the right side that illuminates irregardless of turn signal stock position? Bad switch? When I flip the headlight switch to the first position (parking lights I presume as the headlights are not on) all 4 corners will light.
