That damned sidelight switch

[andy]

I've seen a fair few posts on here from folk wondering why their sidelights are on after cleaning inside their cars and thought at the time "Muppet - how could you not realise?"

Today I cleaned the inside of my car. A few hours later (strangely enough whilst on the phone to an SIDC bod) there's a knock at my front door. My neighbour.... "Mate, do you know your sidelights are on?"

To everyone I've thought a muppet, I humbly apologise as I am now most definitely one too... [:$]

i was crapping it as i had my car in the garage at work next to the directors limo and was getting paranoid about it killing the battery

I was driving about with sidelights on for about a week.

HOWEVER! I'm nae that dumb, my switch had actually failed and locked on (even when off).
