Default battery drainage issue

Got a 95 gs with 165xxx everything works fine except if i extend the steering wheel out all the way it causes headlights brights and fogs to get stuck on. My battery also got drained overnight for no apparent reason. Would a short in the wiring harness cause this?

Try changing the headlight switch, I have been in a similar situation. My problem was that when I extended my steering wheel all the way up the lights will go off and the fogs will stay on. So I changed the Headlight switch and all was well. Hope that helps.

Your domelight switch need to be set to "off" not "door". Seems like an unlikely solution, but is apparently a common issue with this car. Worked for me, even when a new battery didn't.
