Car stays running when lights are on

Post by jamesok »

I guess there is a bad earth somewhere

The lights are on when the car is running,

when I turn the car off, when I have the light on using the stork, the car stays running untill I turn the lights off by the stork.

I tightened the stalks on the column and cleaned the earth, so now it is sorted dose not run on.

The break pedal switch was loose as f..k so after tightening that the rear lights are all ok.
