Parking Lights Stay On

[Thomas DeBusk]

My parking lights just started staying on after I turn off the headlights.

If I disconnect the battery, the parking lights go off. Re-connect the battery, turn on the headlights, turn them off, and the parking (and taillights) stay on again.

Any suggestions?

Bad Switch. Power goes from battery through firewall, through fuse block to headlight switch. No other switches or relays on that circuit that would cause the lamps to stay on. Even your headlight warning dinger (technical term for the multi-function alarm) is controlled by a relay (off of the ignition though, power just flows through the relay to the dinger). That's where I would start anyway. Hope that helps.
