    Was told my ditch lights were still on today, so I went to turn them off. When I got to my truck to flip the switch it was already off, so I clicked it a few times and back to off. Ditch lights dimmley flickered for a few seconds then came back on, so I had to disconnect them from the battery.. How do I fix this, I don't need them draining my battery whenever they feel like coming on

    Bad switch or relay. If the relay is in the engine bay, it can get moisture in it and crud will build up on the contact causing the issue you describe.

    Yeah that's what I guessed, it is in the engine bay and was after a night of snow wheeling.

    My bar did the same thing. Replaced the replay with a 40/30 waterproof. Never had an issue again.
