I got it. It was the brake light switch. No answers need now, thanks.
They should turn off when the ignition is turned off and the key removed.
day time running module on drivers fender back by the brake booster needs to be replaced
It is normal if other lights come on at the same time. All of the reminder/warning lights should come on when ignition is in idle (key's in ignition, but the car is not running)
If the Explorer is running engaging the parking brake is supposed to turn the daytime running lights off , otherwise the daytime running lights are supposed to shut off when the engine is shut off . I have a 2004, Eddie Bauer Explorer. On the light switch itself, there is a selection to turn on or off the day lights, as well as the extended, courtesy lights after ignition is turned off.
May have to be turned off manually Auto sensor bad
Had the same thing happen on a '73 SB. It turned out (after much cussing) to be the ignition switch. Try replacing the switch with an OEM and "see" what happens!
You have a flat battery.
Bad relay
The daylight running lights of a Ford Explorer can be turned off by using the manual headlight control switch. Place the switch in the middle position to turn the daytime running lights off. The headlights will then need to be turned on manually at dusk.
Daytime running lights can be turned off by removing the fuse that controls them. The fuse is in the passenger compartment fuse box. The fuse number is D5.
Hook your ingition power wire from the ingition harness to your head light switch (useally Green in color on GM) and it will solve your problem
Because the bulb is burned out.
