Can't turn off bright lights with WS wipers on?

Yahoo Message Number: 15771
The bright lights come on when I turn on the windshieled wipers and I can't turn them off while the wipers are on. Even if I try turning the headlight rocker switch located on the left side dash on and off again, they still stay on. The only way to shut them off is to turn off the WS wiper, then cycle the rocker switch on and of again.
Anyone have this problem? Thanks

Hi Larry

I think you will find the lights/wipers are working exactly as they are supposesd to. The daytime running lights come on whenever the wipers are turned on to satisfy the "lights on when wipers run" law in many states. They will stay on till the light switch is cycled with wipers off. Mine are the same as you describe yours.

Andy. What I meant by "bright lights" is high beam head lights.
They come on and can't be turned off until the wiper are turned off. Thanks

Larry,

They must have a wire in the wrong spot. My driving lights come on as soon as the parking brake is released and when the wipers are turned on, the headlights come on to the last setting I used, low or high beam and can be toggled back and forth with the lever. They do stay on until the Coach is turned off, I can't get them to go off with the console switch once the wipers have been activated.

That is a problem Larry. I am reasonably certain that mine are the daytime running lights although they are very bright. Other than that they work exactly like yours. Are your tail lights on when this happens? I don't think the tail lights come on with the DRLs but probably would if the hi beams are on.

Good luck
Andy
