Fuse 33 is the one I have highlighted on the diagram that I posted. Do I have the wrong diagram?
Thank you for your help.

Hey Gilbert! So it's the high beams that stay on? Even with the key out?

I found a different diagram, if it helps anyone:

That fuse #33 (F2.33 in the diagram, I think) should only get power from the multifunction switch in the high beam or flash-to-pass positions. So if you're pulling that fuse and making the lights go out, then that'd suggest a stuck switch, OR voltage is backfeeding into that circuit from somewhere else.

I'd probably go to the multifunction switch next. Or, C219 if you can find it, probably at the base of the steering column. If you can disconnect the switch and make the lights go out, and the switch is in the low beam position, then that switch sucks.

Hey Tyler thank you for your respond. Fist thing on Monday I will check on this and let you know. I will start to disconnect all plugs that have to do with the lights, after doing some reading on it I think it's the DRL.
Thank you for all your help.

I'm with Monde, it really shouldn't be the DRL module. Thinking the circuit from F2.33 to the DRL module is an input, rather than an output, letting the module know the high beams are on. But I've been wrong before! :silly:

Monde thank you for responding. So like I said if I unplug one switch at a time and the lights go out I found the problem . At least on which circuit the problem is on. On my diagram the DRL has power all the time. Is it possible that the module is bad inside? Thank you for your help.

The the customer finely brought the truck back and I disconnected the multi. switch and lights went off. With the switch disconnected I have no power on fuse 33 as it should be. When I plug it in the high lights turn on and the ignition switch is off dose this mean that there is a short in the multi. switch? Here are some pics when plugged in and unplugged to. When plugged in the grey and orange wire is the one that get power when plugged in and that wire go's to fues 33 the high lights. Can I call this switch bad? Thank you for your help.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
