      parking lights wont turn off

      So I am having the peculiar problem of my park lights not turning off, and along with that the dash lights, tail lights and of course the front park lights do not turn off. Pulling the relay does nothing, and I can hear the relay working when I flip the lights on and off. However pulling the fuses kills the power. This is What's throwing me for a loop. The relay should kill power to the fuses, and if there was any power coming from elsewhere then pulling the fuses would do nothing (I think). I double checked all my fuse taps for my parking lights in the new headlights, and it all seems good, no shorts or anything. I dont even know what to do. And another thing, when I was putting the fuses back in after pulling them so I didn't lose my tails at night, the lights stayed off for a minute. When I touched the fuse again, literally just touched it, the lights came back on. Is there a problem with the fusebox? That's my last guess

      Serious problems now. Went to work for lunch, and then when i went to go back out to my car i pressed the unlock button on the key, and i got nothing. Put the key in the door and turned it, all the doors unlocked (as they should, this means RKE is not working, power locks are). start the car, TPMS light is flashing (does that when a sensor is damaged, WTF). Then i go to leave the parking lot, blinkers dont work. 4 ways dont work either. And as Im driving I notice the radio. No power. What. The. ****.

      I noticed that there are fuses for the parking lights in the fuse box under the hood. Have you tried those?

      Light switch could be faulty? Had an issue like that with my 1986 Nissan.

      Relay clicking and the lights having power with relay gone removes light switch from equation. I think I just need an Ecu/bcm reset

      i had a problem with my lights staying on a few times, i kept turning it on and off, eventually turning off. i couldnt get them off one day, so i took it in. it was a brake pedal sensor causing the prob.

      So, the electrical problems (other than the park lights) were all just a blown audio fuse. changed that, everythings good as new (other than the park lights)
      Im gonna have my mechanic check the grounds, that was suggested to me
