Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

When I pull the light switch and turn to the left nothing seems to turn on. My questions are what is expected in regards to what light should turn on and could this be a new light switch is needed?
The switch does feel a bit sloppy.
Thanks for any input
With the ignition off, if you pull it and turn it counter-clockwise you can turn on either the left or right parking lights individually, depending on which little arrow you point the dial at. It won't do anything when the ignition is on.
Apparently this has to do with parking, where in some cases you would want the lights lit one side of the car but not the other. It's a pretty useless feature IMO.
Not useless, designed for parking on the street side in inclement weather conditions, and making it visible so it doesn't get hit by passing motorists. Lots of European cars have them.
As said, for Europeans who actually have a brain and know how to drive to get a drivers license. Here in the States, since people turn on their flashers in inclement weather (wrong and against the law), more than likely if you used the side parking lamps either side somebody would just plow into the back of your car thinking they were following a moving car.
Having spent 9 years in Germany I can assure you that this is a very needed function. Most of the time you park halfway on the sidewalk, half in the street. Then you turn on that sides parking lights. It's also designed to use very little electricity so you can safely leave them on all night.
