Default Headlights on with switch removed

Woke up to headlights on this morning but switch was off. I removed and unplugged switch headlights stay on with no switch. Trying to figure where the power is back feeding from. Searched here but came up with nothing Thanks

Did the pigtail for the headlight switch look okay? Try unplugging fuses one at a time until they turn off to narrow down which circuit is feeding the headlight.

I removed fuses to isolate and have narrowed it down to only when I remove circuit breaker #12 30 amp does the headlights go out . The Haynes electrical diagram only shows power door locks and door switches feeding power them. How would this be connected to headlights unless searching for a ground. and where to find that particular ground ? Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Where is the anti-theft module and what does it look like? I've found keyless entry module and chime. I'm getting back feed of power to both door lock switches with breaker removed.
