Question Parking and tail lights staying on

I have a 97 F150 and have had a new problem develop. After using my lights, and turning them off, my parking lights and tail lights are staying on and not going off without unhooking the battery. I recently had my camshaft sensor replaced and the problem started as soon as I got the truck back from the shop. Not saying its the cause, but it does make me wonder. The lights also come on and do not go off when I hit the horn to set my alarm through the keyless entry. Any help would be huge. Thanks in advance!

Sadly I got the repair done while on vacation in Florida. So going back to that shop is not an option. I was just trying to avoid having to go to my local shop

I had the same problem with my 01. It was quite a few years ago but i remember it was a fuse and a relay switch in the panel box both under the hood and the dash

I could see a relay doing it, but more so a faulty switch or two bare wires making contact and the lights staying on... Check around the area of the camshaft sensor for damaged wires.
