Default Instrument/tail/parking lights won't turn off?!

For some reason my lights won't turn off. The headlights don't come on, but the first set do, and I can't shut them off, even if I pull the fuse. has this ever happened to anyone? Anyone got any ideas? Thanx.

Never happened to me. Have you done any electrical work on your car lately?

Well, I put a stereo in and an alarm. If I pull the stereo, and pull the fuses to the alarm, they still stay on. I'm gonna have to do some diggin tonight. this could be a real PITA. I'm sure it's something real simple too. I think it might be the headlight switch in the column. It's wierd, it just started this morning. it was fine last night. Although I did wash under the hood last night, wonder if maybe that has anything to do with it.

How did you conect the wires? Tape, wire nuts, butts, etc?

I had the alarm installed. I didn't do it personally. But everything was soldered and it was done very well. I went over it with a white glove. I checked a bit under the hood. but nothing. Lunch time is comin up here quick. I'll see what I can find out. It might be a relay for the alarm that's stuck closed, But even then, if I pull out the fuse to the brain, the lights stay on. I'll check it out more.

ok, so when I pull the wiper relay fuse (15A) they turn off. I put the fuse back in and they stay off. I then turn the lights on and off again and the lights stay on till I pull the fuse again. I have shaved my rear wiper, so I think the wires must be touchin somewhere in there and keeping the relay closed, unless the wiper relay is under the hood and got wet?!?!. I'll keep ya'll posted. Thanx for the help
