uh oh , there is a short somewhere how are you on electrical problems , i can help but you would have to have some knowledge of 12v systems and diagnosis

im pretty good just not sure where to start on this,i wish i had the wiring diagram on it

ok , lets start here , there is one red wire from the fuse box to the headlight switch ,the parking lamp circuit is a brown wire and runs to the interior light and to the rear and splits off to the tail lamps,
i would pull the courtesy lamp fuse and see if the park lamps go out if they go out there is a problem inside like a short in the dome lamp
but either way there is a short to ground powering the park lamp circuit through the switch at all times
do you have a hitch and wiring if so check the brown wire there ive seen them rub the frame before ,
let me know

Suggested Repair
Suspect a short to ground that keeps the parking-lamp circuit powered. Pull the courtesy-lamp fuse to see if the park lights go out, which would point to an interior or dome-lamp short. Also inspect hitch wiring, especially the brown parking-lamp wire, for rubbing against the frame.
Conversation Summary
A 1995 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer owner reported parking lights that stay on after replacing the headlight switch, including when the switch is unplugged. The expert explained that a short is likely feeding the brown parking-lamp circuit and recommended pulling the courtesy-lamp fuse and checking hitch wiring, particularly a brown wire that may rub the frame.
