help my highbeams stay on and wont go off.

last night while i was wheeling i noticed that the high beams wouldnt go off even when i had the truck off. so now when i turn off the truck, i have to unhook the battery. you guys think its a bad switch or a bad connection, i have no clue how that switch works. any help will be greatly appreciated.

It may be the switch but it may also be the headlight relay. The relay is much easier and cheaper to replace and test so look under the hood on the passenger fender for the fuse block. The cover has a diagram that shows the headlight relay. Try tapping on the relay with a wrench and see if it's stuck. Next pull the relay out and test it. If the relay test good, get out the wiring diagram and test the turn signal/light switch. Good luck and I hope you only have to change the relay.
