My running lights stay on continuously even after car is shut off. The high beam light shows in my dash unless I turn headlights on. I can't find any other light buttons in the car.

  Are you talkng about the dash indicator lights or the exterior park, tail and side marker lights (running lights)? If it's the dash indicator lights that stay on, I suspect a problem in the ignition switch circuits. If the exterior (running) lights are on, then the problem is likely in the headlight switch circuits. Good luck with electrical problems. I recommend a Ford specialist or an auto electric shop.

  Thank you. Its just the headlights that remain on. Only way to shut off is to disconnect battery. The high beam light is staying on in my dash even when headlights aren't turned on.
