sounds like a normally open relay getting stuck closed. i have a manual, I'll check to see if it has a wiring diagram for the lights...

I am still having a click click problem trying to start my car.. starter was replaced so I know its not that... the search continues... there is something at play besides the ignition switch because a friend bypassed it in his SVX (for a remote start) and also has the same issue as me.

I have both a stock and aftermarket alarm installed (the aftermarket cause a short inmy system so I don't use it). Only my turn signals flash.

In the diagrams, it looks like the headlight relays are after the fuses?? Also I noticed we have daytime running lamp relays?? Does anyone have daytime running lights?
