Default lights on?

I just bought a 95 f150 eddie bauer 4.9. I love the truck besides whenever i leave it, keys off, doors off, lights off(or so i think) and everything else off, the overhead light stays on, as well as the parking lamps, and the bed lights....anyone have any idea what could be happening?

Are there any jumper wires for added accessories to either the fuse block or headlight switch?

It sounds like a bad headlight switch. You do have one. The switch is mounted behind that dash panel and that's the rod that the **** is on. That's where I would start. I live in Texas so I have no idea what all needs to be hooked into to install a snowplow kit.

A buddy of mine once took a garden hose to the vinyl interior of his Dodge and had the same problem for a couple weeks until everything dried up. There's a chance the previous owner did something stupid like that and the problem will go out on its own.

That is probably it, it has a small interior leak so that explains a lot! time to go fix that!
