Headlights

I am having issues with the headlights not turning off. I have to unplug from headlamp bulb to turn off. Any one know how to fix or make any kind of suggestion.

Re: Headlights

Is it stock or do you have a relay circuit? If its stock you may need to check your headlight switch on the dash. If its gone bad change it out.
Year, make. and model info would help.

Re: Headlights

Pull the connector off the dimmer switch and check for 12 volts on the blue wire with the headlight switch on. Then shut the switch off and check for zero volts on the blue wire. If you get those readings then the switch is good.
