Parking light switch always lit up???

[Crispy]

Just got the Tahoe and I really havent driven it except when I drove her home. I just did an LED cluster swap and I noticed that my headlight switch is lit up as soon as the car sees ignition (it shuts off when the car does, so no draw). Is that normal?

headlight switch? The one that says your brights are on?

 

[Crispy]

No, the switch itself. Where the dimmer and dome override are.

Gotcha, I will try and check tonight if I remember and if no one else chimes in. SO the back light in there is always on? Right? just making sure I get it lol

Thanks I'd appreciate it.

You got it, the back light in the switch.

 

[Crispy]

Bump. Anyone?

 

[puckhead]

Sorry buddy totally spaced this out. So my back light comes on only when my lights are on. If my e-brake is on or it is light out it is off. I wonder if something got crossed when you did the swap? Is that the only thing lit up all the time?

mine is on when the truck is on too. Crispy thats normal

might be an OBS thing then. Maybe one more will chime in to confirm it

 

[Crispy]

Thanks for the update guys.

I know for a fact I didnt cross anything, its all plug and play lol. Its not hurting anything, and if pat says its normal, then it must be. Once again, thanks.

Always on so you can find the light switch at night in the dark. Wouldn't make much sense to have it lit only when the lights are on because you already found it. Just sayin.
