Title tells all!

Okay, I got the securty problem repaired. Found out that I forgot the hook up the connectors near the Heater Blower <The problem I mention about the Key that was locked in Asso. Mode>. ANyways, the headlights are staying on and the light switch on the turn signel switch is Off and I mean OFF. I have check, double checked, triple checked all of the wires under my dash to make sure everything was okay. And every-Bloody-Thing is connected.

HELP! why is the headlights won't turn off.

Isnt this like the exact same problem you had like a week ago? Check your alarm fuses and relays....there is something big amiss here....

Sounds like you might have some corrosion in a wireing harness somewhere.... or a bad headlight switch.

I was wondering the same thing Joey. BTW, the Keyswitch issue is taken care of. Just the stupid Headlights are staying on for some retarted reason.

Anyways! How would i check the Headlight Switch to see if its bad.?

Unplug it and clean it, if it fixes the issue, your in there... could also be a bad connection on the back of the headlight switch.

I posted a good write up on cleaning the headlight switch awhile back, I am sure a quick search will find it.

I'll do a search for it. Oh yes! I also forgot to mention because it so brite in the Desert. The Highbeam indicator is on on the Insurment Panel. But, I'll totally fine the post on cleaning the Light Switch.

Joey! I found your writeup on cleaning the switch. BTW, after I pulled out Headlight/Turnsignel switch I reconnected the battery. The blasted headlights are still on.

Found it! Relay!

 

[joey]

Glad to hear it.

Which relay was it?

 

[broadshore]

There is a relay where the lights goto. Well, I don't have the running lights option nor the Fog Lamps. So I pulled outthat relay and BLAM there working why they should be.
