I forget if it was 2000 or 2001 where they added the 30 second timeout on the headlights after you shut the key off. So do they shut off after 30 seconds?

Did you turn off the headlight switch?

sounds like a bad headlight switch. It will do that when it is unplugged, like when you tear the dash apart.

Everything shuts off in mine when you unplug the switch.

Only way they go off is if I pull the fuse, but my radio also resets when I pull the fuse
