My headlights will not turn off! Help.

[tieacabletoatree]

My 98 Ford Taurus has a problem. The headlights will not go off. When I turn them off the high beam light comes on and the lights stay on (even when the car is off). I have to disconnect the battery so I don't drain it. When I turn the lights on, the high beam light turns off but it looks like the high beams are still on.

Is it a bad switch? Don't know much about the electronics powering the headlamps.

I even tried pulling the fuses and it does not turn off the lights. That seems very strange to me.

Any help?
