so i turned my 95 subaru legacy on saturday for the first time in 2 months. something shorted (i think) and now the turn signal and brake lights won't turn off when i turn my car off. i have to unplug the battery so my car doesn't die, any ideas on what's wrong?
 
I was going to say it was your alarm because when you unplug the battery the lights will stay on. There's a button behind your hood release (at least on my car, a 98) that you have to press while turning the key to the on position and hold for 10 seconds (don't start the car).

Can't help with a short. Car wiring is a pain in the ass.
 
no haha i'm in CO. i couldn't drive because i had shoulder surgery 2 months ago and i just got cleared to drive
 
Like this guy said up here ^^^^^ theres a button that you have to press. On my 96 legacy its under the dashboard right next to the steering collumn. It should be hanging down on a piece of wire. If that doesnt work then maybe your hazard lights are on....?good luck
 
if this button thingy doesn't do it, first option on any electric problem is usually to check all your under dash and in engine fuses.
 
UPDATE: i was really fucking stupid, but it turns out that it was just the hazard lights that were on. i felt stupid. my mechanic charged me $25 to tell me my hazards were on. what a douche
 
I thought someone mentioned that above. Was it hazards or the Parking lights (switch on top of steering column)? I never knew what that switch did until I flipped it putting in my stereo and couldn't figure out why my lights were still on.
