Does this truck have DRL?

A faulty headlight switch will also do this.

No driving lights, I call them parking lights that are on but looking at the front ones they look like a little bulb that is lit up, like maybe a marker or courtisy light but I have them on in the front and the back both.

Need help, checking out problem all the parking lights on when light switch is off and ignetion is shut off and keys pulled out. I took the light switch out and unplugged all the wires and the lights still on. Only thing I can do to get them to go out is unhook the battery. I reconnected the battery and lights still on, any help would be greatly appreicated.

Perhaps you had some big rain lately and the
windshield leaked onto the electronics under the dash?

Lots of wierd electrical things go wrong when the
windshield leaks.

Good luck - Hope you figure it out!

X was parked under cover during last rain and I have been under the dash and no signs of water leaking anywhere. Can anybody show me where to find the parking light relay under the dash?

Yes head light switch in off position and ignition swithc in off with keys out and still got lights. Have noticed that the instrument panel lights are on to. Have unplugged light switch and pulled almost all little fuses and lights still on, can not see any melted or burnted wires or plugs on any thing.

When my computer went bad (VSM), I believe it was called, I pulled every fuse in the fuse box and my headlights still would not turn off. I read up on the subject and informed the dealer that I believed it was the VSM. It still took them 2 weeks to get it repaired. Good luck with this one.

Red face

Got out of shop and the problem was the remote start, it had shorted out when the wife used it that morning. Mechanic pulled fuse to it and lights went out. Thanks for all the help.
