Tail lights and turn signal lights wont turn off??? WTF

Hey everyone. My car is being retared lol. I have an 89 2.8L Firebird and suddenly its start acting acting up. The taillights, and all signal lights remain ON with no pulsing or anything. When I leave the car I always have to disconnect my battery to prevent it from draining. Has anyone had a problem like this before?
Thanks guys/gals

Jared

Time to start pulling fuses under the dash to determine which circuit is feeding the lights. I'd try the Brake/Hazard fuse, the Tail fuse, Turn/BackUp fuse etc.

That's where I'd start.

Wow, that's a strange one.
If you pull all fuses, does it stop? Do you maybe have an alarm that could be feeding the lights? If so, try disconnecting it too.
