Headlights won't turn OFF!

[trussman]

Ok, drove my truck tonite for the first time in a couple weeks to take the ole mutt to the vet. When I get there I shut the engine off, turn off the headlights, and as usual, they stay on a little while. That is typical. The problem was noticed when after 45 min inside, I come out to headlights on still. So, I assumed I bumped the unlock button and they kicked back on. Well, I get home and same deal. No matter if I turn the off before I shut the truck off or turn off after, they won't shut off. Dash lights, running lights, and tail lights all go on and off with switch, but not the headlights. I did get them off by disconnecting the battery for now. When I reconnected, they popped right back on. Help please! I don't want to reset my radio every time I leave the house LOL

sounds like a short in your headlight wiring causing a constant draw .. check your wires coming off the headlights and look for bare spots,,

And check ur fuses

Gonna check that this evening after work. Seems this kinda stuff always happens when it's 40 and raining

And check ur fuses

If you can tell me where exactly the headlight fuse is I would be greatful, cause it isnt in the fuse box under the hood.

Try unplugging the headlight switch, might have just shorted out in the switch:dontknow:

it happened to me before and it was the control module for your day time running lights

good call, id say that's probably the best place to start on this one,,

 

[68charger]

you could check and see if its the high beam or low beam thats staying on

 

[viperhauler]

i think my switch went bad... during disassembly, something happened and they stay on... i'd order a new switch and see what happens...

Day time running lights?

If you need a diagram of the fuse box check it out! Ram srt 10 fuse Box Diagram - Bing Images

i don't think any of the 10's have DRL's???

 

[VENOMOUS1 RACING]

Think Canucks have to have them per law.

 

[68charger]

we had to have day time running lights since the 90's my mistake

 

[trussman]

My lights didn't use to come on unless I turned them on. So I'm assuming no DRL's on it. Also, my fuse box under the hood says nowhere on it "headlamps" or anything of the sort. I got off late and was unable to check it out but I have nothin to do saturday so I will tackle it then. Thanks all for the input and I will post what it was for future reference

Maybe you can try the time delay relay. Maybe it's stuck on.
