Parking lights will not turn off; EVER!
Okay, here goes. 2001 S430 just picked up from the shop after having the drivers side air strut replaced. The battery was dead; according to the "mechanic" one day when the weather was bad the lights came on and would not go back off. At first I figured switch, so I jumped it off drove it home and disconnected the headlamp switch...no luck...lights still on (front and rear parking/driving). Then I went in and made sure DRL was set to manual, still no love. Does anyone have any input on this? Even a fuse to pull so the car wont drain down overnight would be nice. Thanks to all in advance!

I don't know the correct solution but I know a cheap workaround
Buy a product on amazon called battery brain T3 , there are several versions - get the T3 with a remote control keyfob
It cuts off the battery connection , so your battery wont drain when you get out of the car. When you come back to the car, just press the remote and it re connects the battery automatically
