Parking lights and dash lights come on after ignition and lights are shut off. The only way to get them off is by turning ignition on and off but after a short while they will come on again. The other way to get them off is to pull the fuse. I have also replaced the headlight switch with a new one because it was showing some irregularities.

Yikes!

Hey Ron,

Yep this is a fault of the BCM shorting out. It will need to be replaced.

Please let us know what happens.

Best, Ken
