I am having a problem with my running lights staying on, even after
removing the tail light fuse. (I don't have auto lights.) Although, the
fuse for the left tail light "turned off" the running lights, removing the
fuse for the right tail light still left the lights on.
Any help for this problem will be greatly appreciated since it is Saturday
night and I won't be able to have this repaired until Monday. By then I
may not have enough battery power to get me to the shop...

Too many possible causes. Switch seems likely but I would Disconnect the
Negative battery cable when not in use, and take it to the shop on Monday.
good Luck

Thanks, John Doe. I went to my car this morning and the lights were off.
Of course, that was due to the battery dying. I used my portable charger
and jumpstarted the car. The lights did not come back on. I checked if
the tail lights were still working, by replacing the fuses, and they were.
I guess when the battery was recharged everything was reset as well.
I'm still taking it in on Monday to have it checked.
Thanks again!

What is this running light? are u talking about factory fog lamps??

Theta, the running lights, I think, would be lights on the side of the car,
although someone at work told me those are called the parking lights.
After getting the car started after Saturday, the same thing happened on
Monday night. I took the car to where I had the alarm installed. The guy
there reset the alarm and had difficulty with the lights interfering with
the alarm or vice-versa.
I have an appointment set up with the dealer for Friday and will update
this post after having Hyundai check on this problem.

the amber color lamp on the side of the front bumper?

carmenlucha

Yes, those are the ones.

Got my car back from the dealer. The parking lights were staying on due to
a short in the wiring, as well as a bulb that was ready to die out. Hope
this helps anyone else with a similar problem.
