Default Curtesy Lights Not Shuting Off

Just finished up installing new radio and speakers in my 71. Hooked up the battery but now the courtesy lights will not shut off. Whats up with that?

Make sure your headlight switch is turned correctly, one of your doors switches could be bad , or if you have courtesy delay have you waited long enough or the timer could be bad.

Thank you. Do not think I have that delay feature on the 71. I will check the headlight switch as I had the dash pulled down as far as i could get it to install the speaker. Could have pulled something apart.
