Re: 96' Ford Windstar Headlights won't turn off.

Most likely the issue is in the switch itself. I would call a junk yard or buy a new switch and change it. It is not that hard. Get out you're handy dandy metric socket set.. you will need a 7mm to remove the plastic cover and the metal plate under the stearing wheel. Also use a screwdriver to help pry the plastic cover off from around the switch itself as it is only held in by clips. Oh ya dont forget to take the headlight knob itself off by pulling on it. After you have the knob, the plastic around the knob and the plastic and metal plates off from under the stearing wheel.. you will see 2 or 3 (cant remember) small (7mm I believe) screws hoding the switch on. Remove them and the switch will then be able to be pushed back and then pulled out from under the mount. Unplug the wire harness from it and instal new switch. Ya I know my directions are kinda jumping around like a mexican jumping bean... I am still not awake yet.. lol. But it is pretty easy so I will trust you can handle it.Its a total of about 7 or 8 screws and thats it. good luck.
