problem #1

Jan 152005

Rio Sedan 1.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,000 miles

Ok, so when i got the car from a Russian in 2005 had about 56k, my mom bought this as my first car lol yeah i know, what a sweet mama, anyways, i didn't notice till after a while, but the lights never go off when it it turned to the off position, so this was annoying cuz it was on all day on running lights. At first also, it was just one light that would stay on, while the other was off, so ppl always told me that i had a light out when i really didnt, so i showed them, "my car can wink, see!" Id turn it from off to running lights. But now, i replaced fuses, and now both, not just one, stay on, and it is very annoying, don't have the time or money to fix it, its not that big of a deal, but surely its a waist of electricity, oh well, anyone had this problem with this PIECE OF SH*T ON WHEELS?
