    If your back up lights won't turn off until the car is shut down, it sounds like you have a faulty ground. Try finding the ground point for your back up lights. Remove it... clean it... and putter back together. Should clean up the problem. Better clean the light and socket while you're at it.

    Hi climate. The ground was fine so I backed the switch out about a half turn and everything is working great. Thanks for your help.
