Default Two parking lights will not turn off unless disconnecting the battery in my 2005

Two of my parking lights, one on the front passenger side and one on the rear driver side will come on periodically and drain the battery. Right now I am disconnecting the battery after I use the car. Hoping somebody may have experienced this problem before. Also, the key fob will no longer unlock and lock the doors even with a new battery installed. I don’t know if that is related to the parking light issue or not.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Coupe or Roadster? You must inspect the CLP/SSM in the trunk area.

In Roadsters, it's in the passenger side rear wheel well. (Ya gotta yank all the trim from the trunk area.)
In Coupes, it's under the trim on the right side of the cargo area, in back. (Never owned a coupe, but the story is the same; Ya gotta yank all or most of the trim from the area and take a look.)

You are looking for water damage - if you find any, it's time to replace the CLP/SSM with one from a wrecked car (since you can't get them new anymore).

CLP/SSM: Central locking pump/security system module.

If your looking, I hear these (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...Desc=1&_sop=15) will work. IF there is water damage in the module, make sure it didn't also damage the wiring connectors and wicked up the wires as well. Good luck!

The fob probably could need to be paired to the car again, it happens if the battery’s in the fob have been dead for some time.
The CLP/SSM, if it has problems, will also cause the door locks to be inoperable. This is most likely the cause for your problem.
