Parking lights stay on Ram 1500 2004
I have the same issue. Suddenly, one day the parking lights came on, and will not go off. The switch does nothing, the start the engine, play with the switch, etc. does nothing.
What I did was pull the fuse to turn them off, then put it back in, and pulled the relay to turn them off. Now, when I drive at night, I have the relay laying in the ashtray, and I install it to drive, and remove it when parked.
All connectors to the fuse box were checked and clean. PCM?

Found problem
My truck was doing the same thing. Fuse to trailer light plug #33 pulled and problem stopped. I will repost with fix on plug soon.

Problem sort of resolved
Hi there pulled fuses one by one until i hit #33. It goes to the trailer hitch wiring harness. The lights went out.Parking are all back to normal. I have a snowplow with a control module that switches the lights from truck to plow and back that i replaced but still no luck and replaced the headlight switch too still nothing until i pulled that fuse. My lights were staying on with truck off and headlight switch off but half bright on parking circuit only. if it turned the headlight switch to park they would go full brightness. The headlights through all of this were not affected just parking and top cab Lights.My truck is a 2004 Dodge Ram 4x4 5.7 Hemi 2500HD. Standard cab and bed.
