LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF! HELP!

Okay, the craziest thing just happened... long story short I was just on a high speed chase with the police, like an idiot I turned into an unfamiliar neighborhood driving with the lights off after realizing that was suicide I turned them back on, still gunnin it... came to my senses and pulled into some random driveway in an attempt to play it off but after I turned off my ignition and pulled out the keys THE ****ING LIGHTS WOULDN'T GO OFF! Now I'm sitting there looking stupid as hell and bright as day.

Specs: 91 Camaro RS
Diagnoses: The lever (pull & push) won't turn my lights on or off anymore, they're stuck in a on position, it works for the interior lights when I twist it far left or right; as well as for the lights on the speedometer and whatnot. I currently have my battery unplugged until I can find a resolution.

P.S: After they pulled me out the car at gun point they let me go LOL! And the officers name was, Mr. Means. How ****ing ironic, luckiest break ever, true story.

Re: LIGHTS WON'T TURN OFF! HELP!

lol im amazed you haven't gotten flamed for running away from the cops but i do have to say that is hilarious about mr.means apparently someone who lives up to his name lol. With some mods you might have had alittle better luck jk lol. Anyways onto the real problem. Chances are you'll probably need a light switch and even if thats not the problem you still have to get to the light switch to further diagnose the problem anyways. So Just try turning off the lights and disconnecting the connector on the light switch if the lights go out your switch is bad simple as that.

i had a bad day and pulled the light switch hard and they wouldnt go off
