Hey Bork x 3 -

What you got is a normal circuit. The interlock is not in the parking light circuit. We found that out shortly after the wife started driving our 1988 244GL. Dead as a doornail after all day with the Parks left on.

We, too, just leave the headlight switch "On" all the time. Gives the day running lights, and shuts off with engine shut-down. We find very very few situations where the Parks would be better than low beams.

I suppose there is a way to add another interlock relay so the Parks would cut off, too. But why bother?

Regards,

Bob
