    I seriously have to disconnect my ground wire when I shut it off now to keep my headlights from draining the battery... And I've got a lot of ground wires and it's really turning into a real pita

    so which relay did you change? Also once you connect the battery again do they still stay on or is it just when you go to turn them on for the first time that they stay on?

    As soon as I attach my ground wire they turn on... Headlight relay under the hood next to battery d4121b4629d163290864a91f323ce3bb_124d2044bd700f40032df08b4ae708a387d57687.jpg

    The one that says head... I assume to mean headlights relay

    Problem is fixed replaced with the new one today and works perfectly... Really need to get my inner fenders formed to make sure road debris isn't a factor
