parking light switch on steering column
When the switch is in the middle position / on and im driving at night when i turn the wheel left or right I can feel pressure being put on this switch. the more i steer the more pressure.. Usually a half wheel turn will get the switch to fully click left or right thus turning off my parking lights. has anyone had this happen? what was the problem? Wanted to ask before i take the whole thing apart.

Re: parking light switch on steering column
I was just working around the steering column/under dash today, and it was the first time I noticed that switch on top of the steering column. What lights does it control? The car is new to me, so I'm still learning all the functional bits.

OK, American cars don't have Parking lights. Your car is an 84 and a European model.
I can only assume that some steering part catches on the wires or as I remember it from my German cars is that the blinker lever switches the parking light from left to right and maybe that is messing with it.
I would take a closer look at the blinker switch.

Re: parking light switch on steering column
what do you mean american cars do not have parking lights..
I thought they all had them...
when i say parking lights i mean tail lights.. and the little lights on each fender.. and the yellows up front as well.
which ones do american cars not have ? it is an 84 azzurra i guess.. steering wheel on left as it should be.

Re: parking light switch on steering column
OK, I guess your car is like what I know from the US cars. Parking lights in the US are all the lights, except the headlights.
In Germany you have that and additional when you park the car u turn on the blinker, left or right, depending on what side you park on and only a small bulb (5W) in "one" headlight and "one" taillight stay on. That is much more easy on the battery.
Since you don't know about this I assume the Azura does not have that or at least not the models that came to the US.
Why do you have that switch than that is not on my 1981.
Does anybody here on the forum know the differences?
Snoopy, how do your parking lights work?
