Lights won't switch off - Daewoo Matiz Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Automotive Wiring and Electrical jeffersgb New User Jan 27, 2007, 2:00 PM Post #1 of 3 (2245 views) Lights won't switch off - Daewoo Matiz Sign In I have suddenly started to experience a problem in not being able to switch off the side lights on my 1999 Daewoo Matiz SE. To turn them off I have to disconnect the battery and when I connect up again everything is OK until I use the lights again. Then they will switch on and off for a while until they won't switch off again. On one occasion they turned themselves on after I had garaged the car. Everything else controlled by the same stalk works OK - headlights, indicators. I imagine the problem is a faulty switch unless anyone can point me in another direction. steve01832 Veteran Jan 28, 2007, 3:16 AM Post #2 of 3 (2236 views) Re: Lights won't switch off - Daewoo Matiz Sign In You would have to obtain a wiring diagram for this, but you need to see if these lights are controlled by a separate relay. If they are, the relay may be worn out and the contacts are freefloating causing an intermittent closed circuit. Replacing this relay should solve the problem.

I swopped the lights' relay with the horn relay and the horn wouldn't work properly so the relay must be the problem.The lights now work OK so I'll get a new relay for the horn tomorrow.That's saved me wasting money on a new switch.
