I have something similar going on with the girlfriends 93 2.3L. Her high beam lights are on and the indicator light too when the headlight switch is off. Sometimes they will go off and the daytime running lights will work but then they come back on again. When you put the lights on the high beams go off and only go on when you put the highs on like nornally. When the light switch is off it gets messed up. Anybody know what it could be?

Someone might have pinned a MF switch connector incorrectly. Or put new headlight connectors in/rewired the OEM connectors, and switched the wiring so their high beams are always on.
