Quick question!

My wifes 1998 Sebring Convertible has a problem. the taillights stay on in
the vehicle. The battery was dead this morning and I  boosted it. Noticed
the overhead lights were on on the rearview mirror and turned them both off.
Then I noticed the lights were on (headlamps & taillights) But the switch
was off. Now when playing with the headlamp switch the headlights go off,
but the taillights stay on. Any ideas as to what the problem maybe? Body
computer? headlamp switch? etc.

Exactly which "tail" lights stay on? Are they the parking lights only or the
brake lights?  If the brake lights, try pulling up on the brake pedal as it
could be the brake light switch or the pedal not returning to proper height.

No, It is the taillights, and the parking lights(turn signal bulbs). The
headlights will shut off. Brake lights work normally. I have played with the
headlight switch and the just do not turn off. I pulled the headlamp relay,
and the headlamp fuse in the cabin fuse panel. The would not shut-off, even
after that. I pulled the 40 amp fuse in the engine compartment for
headlights and that turned them off finally so it will not kill the battery.

No it is the taillights and parking lights that stay on. Brake lights work
normally. Does the fuse for the headlights control the power locks at all,
as they are not working also, since I pulled the headlight fuse.
