Default Porsche Macan - Lights switch not working and lights permanently stay on

Hi all,

I've got an issue where the lights are always on. The light switch doesn't do anything no matter which position it's at. The small led above the AUTO switch does not light up. The exterior lights stay on as long as the car is running and turn off with the ignition. I assume this is also why my coming home function isn't working either. Has anyone faced this issue before? Would it be an issue with the fuse?

​​​​​​Thanks

Not that it would help me with your question, but it would be good to tell us the year and trim level, since it might be relevant.

Connect an analyzer and see if any codes are thrown. Could be the switch

Thanks - I had it checked by someone and a bunch of error codes came up with the lights. Also there was an error code stating the small dial that is under the speedometer is stuck, which it is a d I didn't notice this until after I bought the car!

Does anyone know if this dial being stuck would be causing the faults with the headlights?

If the light switch needs replacing, how much should I expect to pay? I'm from London. Thanks in advance.

See if clearing the codes works and post some pics of the issue. Sorry can't help on costs
