Default headlight

Headlights go up when the car starts and down when the car is turned off no matter the position of the switch control. When just accessory is on and no engine the headlights function just as they should with the switch control. Any idea what my problem is?

Go into the DIC options and select "twilight sentinel" and disable it. You don't have the sensor on the dash covered or maybe it has fallen down into the dash? It could also be bad. Either way, if you disable twilight sentinel, you should be in normal headlight switch operation. There's a page in the operators manual if you need instructions.
