I was just wondering if anyone has had the same problem as myself. I've noticed that my headlights won't turn off some times. I will have to turn the switch from on to off a time or two to get them to shut off. Anyone else have this problem?

Never heard of that but it sure sounds like a sticky headlight switch.

My question to you is. Do you mean they don't shut off when you shut the truck off and then turn the switch or they don't shut off in general at any time you turn the switch?

I know on my truck and mostly everybody that I talked to that has a ram there is a delay for when you shut the truck off to keep them on. On my EVIC I can set how long they stay on after I shut the truck off(0,30,60 and 90 seconds I believe)

Sometimes either way, I've had it happen with the truck running and with the truck off. I thought maybe they would shut off eventually when I turned the truck off but they stayed on long after the dome light shut off on the inside.

I don't believe mine have ever turned on without me turning the switch but then again I don't know that I would be able to tell during the day time lol
