Cant turn brights off

[leadfootGTP]

The brights on my car turned on for no reason while i was driving to school today, and since then, not mater what i do with the lihgts switch or with the brights switch, they wont turn off (except for when i put the parking lights on i think) the brights symbol on the dash, and the HUD is also on. I have a reprogrammed pcm...i dont know if that could do it, but ive had it for a couple months without having the problem. Any ideas?

I seriously doubt the reprogrammed PCM is the cause, it's just coincidental.

Sounds like it's stuck in the high beam/flash headlights position. The 12v to the hi-beams, HUD indicator, and high beam indicator light are all on the same circuit which happens to be the output from the headlight dimmer switch (stalk) on the steering wheel/column. Sounds like the contacts are stuck in the on position.

I agree with Bnaylor, either the switch is out of adustment, not allowng the rod to engage the switch or the switch itself is stuck/shorted in the bright position.
