Question Headlights stay on

Ok here's the scoop, I came home from work last night and noticed my headlights were staying on even though the switch was turned off. i notice that the "brights" indicator on my cluster is also on. The door chime does not ding to let me know they are on though. Was wondering where i should start looking, would it be my daytime running light switch or the actual headlight switch? thanks,
Jake

Remove the steering column covers and check the wires,especially if you have a tilt wheel. Other than that,I'd say the multi function switch or headlight switch is bad. I'd go with the headlight switch first, but it's hard to say.

i see you're in canada where you have daytime running lights.
it might be that module. its around drivers side, firewall/fender area, black box thingy. try unplugging it and see if it fixes the problem.

Four year old thread. We appreciate folks actually searching, but, don't expect an answer here.
