Doors on lights open and close when car is in off position. Also when turning on lights running lights don't always come on when head lights come on. If turn running lights on off they usually come on and then stay on.

Hello,

This sounds to me like you have a bad headlight switch. Switches like your vehicle's headlight switch wear out with time. When they wear out things like what you described can happen. The headlight switch works by having multiple contacts within the switch. When a couple of these contacts that should have continuity between them when the switch is turned on, don't, then the switch is no good and should be replaced.
In the diagrams down below I have included factory step by step instructions for removal and installation of the headlight switch. Please get back to us and let us know howq it turns out.

Thanks,
Alex
