Fix for Some Issues

Hey guys,
For the last week now, I've had to disconnect my battery anytime I would turn the car off because the parking lights stayed on. Also, the dash lights stayed on. I heard a clicking from under the glove compartment box. Well, today I changed the accessory relay (the thing the sound was coming from), and all the lights are fine. This also fixes the switching of the gear for the 5AT. It's felt smoother since I got it. Just to know, I got the part from Pepboys and I was told that the relay has a lifetime warranty.
Thanks for reading,

I hope it really has fixed your problem. The accessory relay is in no way related to the parking lights.

I don't know if it's called the accessory relay, but it's the relay that's under the glove compartment by the footwell. It's blue. Pepboys called it the accessory relay, so, that's what I think it's called lmao

What a parts store calls a part in not necessarily what a car manufacturer calls that part. The relay Nissan calls the accessory relay is on the back side of the fuse panel.

I don't know what the Nissan name of the relay you changed is. FWIW, the parking lamp relay is under the hood.
