    Please help!!!

    I turn the truck off, pull keys out, lights are turned off.

    Truck tail lights, parking lights, and dash lights remain on. Along with buzzer when door is open to indicate keys in ignition.

    I'm stuck after troubleshooting all night. When I unplug the integration relay, half the problem is solved, tail lights, and buzzer are off. Can anyone help?!

    This may be the dumbest answer you get here, my neighbor had the same thing in his 2005 Tacoma and all it was is he had the headlight switch in the accessory position. Even with the key removed everything but the headlights were on.

    fixed it thanks guys!

    turns out my aftermarket daytime running lights module was shot. I disconnected it, problems solved! going to run without it now, which i prefer anyways.

    Hey guys,

    Just got back from a trip on some NASTY washboard fire roads and am running into this same issue. Running lights, dash light, and door buzzer all on for no apparent reason. I removed the tail light fuse so my battery doesn't die but I'm hoping to get to the root of this... any suggestions? When I toggle the parking lights I *think* I hear the relay clicking...

    Thanks!
