It's actually not the headlights, but the running lights (1 click on the headlight stalk). Last night I came out to my car and the lights were on...I KNEW they weren't on when I parked it. It hadn't been that long so it started right up. When I got home, they turned off just fine so I blew it off as a fluke (it's done a lot of fluke stuff lately!!)

This morning I go out and it's dead as can be...the lights turned themselves back on during the night sometime. I jumped it off and drove to work. Shut the car off and the lights won't turn off again, so I just pulled the fuse to save my battery...

Any thoughts?? Maybe a relay somewhere that's acting up and kicking the lights on randomly???

Either that or it's possessed...I'm about ready to drive it off a damn cliff with all the crap that's going wrong with it here lately...

Thanks!

 

Argggggggggghhhhhh...

When I got home from work last night, they turned off just fine...

BUT, I just went out and checked and the battery is completely dead. The lights kicked on by themselves sometime in the middle of the night...just like they did Thursday night. Son of a....I'm at a loss here!!

Anybody??

 

Could be the connection in the headlight wand.

buy a light tester and start poking wires, see what you find.

 

I'd never get anywhere with that...electronics is not my thing. I'm thinking it has to be a relay that malfunctioning since the lights kick themselves on randomly???

 

I've played around with it some...I thought maybe it was the headlight relay in the fuse block, but that only controls the headlights...not the parking lights which is the problem that I have.

I'm at a loss...

 

Just to follow-up in case this happens to somebody else. The factory alarm (which hasn't worked since I got the car) was screwed up and caused the lights to stay on. While in the shop, they also:

Got the car to pass inspection (new cat and new O2 sensor)
Replaced the seals that were causing the tops of the plugs to be oily and adjusted the valves
Replaced the transmission computer
Got my ABS light to turn off
Fixed my broken alternator belt adjuster (it was bent, and a head snapped off on one of the screws)

They did it in one day...
