Check your pin switches at the door jambs, they can loosen up and back out. When the door closes, it doesn't push the plunger in far enough to break contact.

Make sure they are off at headlight switch.The white wires are seeking ground which will turn on lights.Also if the delay relay is bad it will leave lights on.

, it's an orange thing just hanging on the harness. Remove the glovebox and feel around to the right and you'll find it.

Pull the relay-put a jumper in from white wire to white wire -this will bypass relay and if this takes care of problem -replace relay-if not let us know-----------I think if I remember right(old age is a b!tch)you can use the less expensive 84 or 85 relay(module)
