Headlights supposed to stay on when truck is off?

You're in the 2nd gen forum. We don't know anything about all your computer controlled 3rd gen gizmos. Since your truck is brand new, maybe ask the dealer.

 

If you put this in a search it brings me to 2nd Gen, I did not realize I was in a different thread

 

Ok Muddin, I posted it on 3rd gen forum

 

Mine does this sometimes also I have come to realize that where I look at my switch in the door jamb that activates the lights and the dome light that it has a little indention where it doesn't released perfect every time when I open my door if my lights are on if I wiggle that it'll turn right off

 

I guess the trucks are not perfect and why we are here and fine tuning and doing mods

 

Hey did you figure this out? I’m having the same problem.

 

mine stay on until I open the door, some how opening the door turns them off.

 

Yes mine are the same way they stay on until the door is opened. And since my truck is older sometimes my little light plunger on my door gets hung up so I have to reach back and wiggle it and then the headlights shut off

 

wow .. i'm just now coming across this thread ... this has puzzled me for years. I thought I was going crazy b/c sometimes the lights would auto off and other times stay on and I knew there was some order of steps. Thx. Brightened my day. ha.

 

OP- any resolution? Mine does the same. Nothing to do with the door. My dash light indicator stays somewhat lit up when my headlights are “off” even with truck on and stays lit up even when headlights are off and truck off

 

Driver side door switch was broken! Wouldn’t tell the car that the driver side door opened up and closed when I left the vehicle. Got it switched out no problem.

 

Thats mine too, but its not broken just sometimes I have to wiggle the push pin part.

 

Mine has been doing this off and on for the past couple of years. It'll start acting up, usually after a heavy rain or some other wet or humid weather, then a week or so later, gone. I haven't been able to track down the cause yet, but I have replaced the body ecu, multifunction switch, bulbs, relays...

Did you find a cause? Searching online it seems like there are a bunch of people who have been experiencing the same problem, but I have not seen any resolution to it yet.

 

Just found mine to be doing it

 

In my case, water was getting into a junction block under the driver's side dash, corroding and shorting the pins. I still haven't found the source of the water, but I suspect the windshield. I posted in a few threads trying to find an answer, finally figured it out on my own, but posted about it here when somebody asked: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/high-beams-stuck-on.477486/page-3#post-26950634

 

Guess I've got some pocking around to do
