1991 190 2.3 Headlights don't shut off
I came home from work today to find the headlights on. All the switchs are off. From what I have looked up there is not a relay for this. Would my problem be with the headlight switch or the high-low beam switch.

I have checked the fuses already. I had to remove 2 fuses to shut off the lights. Each side has its own fuse.

Sounds like headlight switch but I would be sure about a relay before trouble shooting the switch.
You might do a search to see if others have had a similar problem.

I replaced the headlight switch but that did not fix the problem. They just shut off and its been fine ever since. When I use the high low beam switch they stay on with no flicker or flash. I also unpluged the alarm box located under the passengers floor mat. No change.

I think I found the problem. I removed the fuse box, fun job and found the headlight fuse #18 shorted out to #12 dome light. I disassembled the box as far as I could and found severe corrosion. It looks like I need a new fuse box. Time to call Phil
