Default Headlights Stay On.
I need some help guys. I have a 92 GT and My headlights are staying on,all switches are turned to the of position and the hi's and fogs work. My lows are staying on. I pulled the fuse (off) then put the fuse back in (on). I'm thinking it might be the headlight switch, but I have no clue.

Working on aircraft i have ran in to this problem before quite often. Take the switch out and see if the lights turn off. If so, it should be your switch. Most likely the contacts in the switch are stuck in the On position.

Do you think a headlight switch repair harness would fix the problem?

judging by that diagram and disconnecting the switch.. id say the dimmer has fused itself to stay on... time for a visit to 50resto.com

Unplugged the multifunction, and still on. I'm going to give the dimmer a try.
