Hello,

It sound like you have a faulty light switch. It is keeping the switch to the on position regardless of your input.

This could just the switch or the wiring for the switch. The switch can have corroded connector that is simple shorted to the on position. Or the harness that is for that switch has a similar issue.

I have attached the wiring diagram for your reference.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
