Ultimate Headlights ON Reminder
Here's a good one.
Replacing the Headlight Door Bushings, and using engine vacuum to raise the doors, I discovered, by way of the ignition switch, the engine doesn't shut off if the headlights are left ON.
I had replaced the Park/Headlight/Vacuum switch a while back, and noticed this winter that when first turning the engine on, the parking lights come on (without touching the light switch). I'll bet that replacement switch is causing this problem.
Any thoughts?

I agree. The fact the parkers are illuminating with the ignition switch on tells us of the contact between them.
But....
Now I finished the bushing job (RH side), installed both headlights, and now I can't duplicate the problem. Could this ignition problem had arose because the headlight bulbs were disconnected?
I wasn't really planning on troubleshooting electrons tonight, ya know.
