Okay heres the deal, Im driving around in the parking lot at night with my headlights on and park, then i turn my lights of....they dont turn off. I think its a fuse for the light switch but i can not find what fuse it could be? Also when i turn the car off it useally makes the dinging noise if you forgot ur lights on, well, when i shut my truck off and the switch is over for the lights being on it makes the dinging noise so i put the switch on the off postion and it quits the dinging noise....but....my lights are still on! What could be the problem??!!?? thanks for any info!
 






Sounds like the headlight relay is stuck. Open the main fuse board under the hood and tap the relays the lights should go off. Replace the relay that you tapped.
 






okay, i did that and it didnt work, they still stay on. Could it be a switch that went bad? Im so confused on why they stay on right now! lol but please help me...its so ugly taking out my fuses to shut my lights off! thanks
 






Yes it could be the switch. I've just double checked my wiring diagram and it doesn't look like they fit a relay at all. (sorry). So it must be either the main light switch or the multi function switch (indicators/main/low beam) that has fused in the on position.
