Default Right side running light stays on after I pull the key?

Just started doing this. I unhooked the battery last night to save it from discharging.

No codes, any idea as to what I should look at that would cause my running light (not both, just the right hand side) to stay turned on when I turn off the Vette?

Just for giggles tap on the bcm with your fingers next time and see if it goes off. It's under the dash on passengers side. Remove the floor mat and the cover. It's the silver box.

Drove the vette to my boat to start getting it ready for Summer fun and now my problem has gone away. But it did throw a code and I have not pulled hte codes yet. Will report back later.

My BMW did this if you left the blinker on and shut the car off. European thing. Not sure if yours is a Euro version, but might try that for S&G.

Most likely a stuck daytime running light relay. If the problem comes back you can swap the left and right then see if the issue moves. Or just replace both of them they are fairly cheap.

Good Luck

So I'm cleaning out the garage. The vette is parked in front of me. All normal, nothing changed and then poof the right front driving light turns itself on out of nowhere.

Swap the relays, They are in the passenger foot well under the carpet. #38 and #40 But verify that with your fuse box lid. Relays stick when they start to burn the contacts up, sometimes they stick and conduct and sometimes they don't conduct.

My Mystery light problem has fixed itself. (for now)

New issue: I can not disable traction control. This one is very important as I can not race the car as it is. Any ideas on what to look for?
