Default lights stay on after car turned off

After shutting down my caliber the other night my parking lights would not turn off. I thought it might be a fuse problem but cannot find out what fuse number would control the parking lights? I did open the fuse panel but only numbers listed on it and not what they control. does anyone know which fuse this may be? Or have any idea if there is a way to manual shut off parking lights?

katjehummel,

What model year Caliber do you have and what type of engine? If you now have a dead battery, I would suggest taking it into an authorized FCA dealer. They should be able to pinpoint what caused the lights to stay on, as well as take care of the battery situation.

Jack nailed it. If you can't find the problem, take it in. Gotta pay to play.

My guess would be the multifunction switch in the column.
You can charge the battery and then unhook the switch and see if the lights go out.
