There are many reasons why a head light would stay on when car is off. These lights could be automatic.
Is it locked?? It should go off.
you didnt specify year, but its time delayed electronically. Assuming they do eventually turn off, all is well. It's 1995 Cadillac Concours the interior lights, and head lights go out when I cut the car off but the dashboard lights stay on.
Some cars had a delayed headlight turn-off system, to keep the lights on for a minute or two after the car was turned off. This was to provide you a courtesy light as you walked up to your front door.
So what is the problem with my stupid car with the lights on the dashlight problem?
Why do interior lights stay on when engine is shut off on 2001 Lincoln Continental car?
Figure it out...
Turn your head lights off before you shut the car off
if you leave the parking lights switch "ON" the lights will remain on, even if the car has been turned off.
If parking lights stay on after the car is turned off on a 2001 Hyundai Elantra than the brake switch is malfunctioning. The brake switch turns off when pressed in and if it does not work the lights of the vehicle will stay on.
Most newer models of cars now have a safety design that allows the headlights to stay on for a few minutes before shutting themselves off to allow the occupants to safely get to a door or gate. Also, on many newer model vehicles, if the lights are turned off before the ignition, the lights will stay off. If the lights are turned off after the ignition, the lights stay on to illuminate your way. If the light switch is off and the lights stay on longer than a few minutes, then something is wrong.
