Headlight stay on when the car is off

Asked by Yves Aug 27, 2019 at 02:26 PM about the 2007 Kia Spectra LX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When the car is off, the daytime lights are stay on, the speedometer is at maximum speed and indicator is flashing from the dashboard, I have to remove the relay DRL and HI HDLP

1 Answer

It almost sounds like there is a short in your wiring. I personally think it is odd that your spedo would max and the indicators would flash. the drl and hi hdlp are both for the headlights. DRL = daytime running lights and hi hdlp is, somewhat obviously, high headlamp. the hi hdlp i believe goes to the dome light, but i could be wrong. is there any electrical modification that has been done? IE sound system, aftermarket lights, wires that have been replaced, etc
