I see another person has had this problem. Very annoying, the battery kept dying and I couldn't figure out why. There was no way to turn the parking lights off except to depress the turn signal after turning off the car.

I take very good care of my car, this shouldn't happen. Your parking lights should never stay on all the time, unless you manually turn them on. What's up with that? Now, Chrysler says I have to pay $150.00 for labor plus parts. Parking lights are not a wear and tear item, only the lights should be, not the switches or the wiring on a 2002 PT Cruiser with only 67,000 miles... geez.
