Hello
Thanks for the donation


Suspect faulty headlight switch. Turn switch to OFF position and test wiring to ensure no power is getting to switch. If power is to switch with it OFF then replace switch.

The headlight switch is the switch used to manually turn on and off the parking lights and the headlights.
