Probably a bad switch. Take your steering column apart and get that light switch off. Check the connections w/ a voltmeter. I took mine off when I installed the alarm and it seems to be really poorly made. I actually had to superglue part of mine to keep it from doing what your describing.

It's pretty simple to take off, but if you have problems, write back.

Good luck.

Matt

I alredy took the steeing column off And I disconnected the two harnesses that looked like they cam from that switch but they stayed on still. Is there something on there that I'm missing? Thanks

Well I took the entire switch out of the steering column and the lights still stayed on. The harneses and wires all looked ok. I know that mitsus use a ground loop for the lights. So I think that its getting grounded out somewhere. I had a problem about a month ago where my headlights where stuck on like this and I cleaned the corrosion out of the marker light sockets and sealed them off and that was fine then. Now all the lights are on and I cleaned out the sockets again and that didnt help. Anyone have any other suggestions please. I cant get it to a shop till next wednesday and I'm trying to get it fixed tonight. TIA
