Daft question but are they parking lights that stay on if the indicator is not in the home position?

Ah! On my car if the headlights or sidelights are on and the ignition key is removed the sidelights (in this case perhaps parking lights) stay on. Apparently normal for a Duratec Plus 4 and I imagine most trad Morgans that use the same indicator/light switch and and Multi Function Unit.

This has led to a flat battery on two occasions and the car is now fitted with a beeper to let me know that the lights are on if the ignition is off, and hence a reminder to turn the lights off. I wanted a cut out relay but Borghi felt that the beeper was the easiest solution, though I might re-visit this on the next service.

I am more accustomed to systems that turn all lights off when the key is removed and find it a hard habit to break when I always drive with lights on.
