Help with head lights! Just started happening the other day. When i turn on my park/makers head lights come up. Never had this problem before. Is there a controller for it or just a bad switch? Thanks any help is great.

hmmm i know if you turn on headlights, than park the headlights stay up, so im guessing it is possible for something to go wrong here. i honestly wouldnt worry if thats the only problem though. do you ever even put the park lights on?

Could try replacing the headlight control module. Not sure where it is on the 98-02's, but on the 93-97's is right below the fuse box under the hood. It's a square device with a single harness connected to it. Could try picking one up from a junkyard and swapping it out. I would imagine it shouldn't cost too much. Should be able to use one from any 93-02 model.

Dont bother with the module...Mine did the EXACT same thing about a month ago. So i started out by pulling off the shroud around the lights. I was expecting to find a short of some kind, perhaps a wire would be chaffed and hitting ground or something. Well i didnt find anything visually other than some corrosion. Well i unplugged the harness on each side going to the lights. I went ahead and got out some contact cleaner and cleaned up all the contacts because of course there was corrosion on the pins. After i did this and plugged the lights back up...no more pop up when just the parking lights were on...Hope this helps.
