Headlights & tailights will not turn off even with switch in off position. Pulled the relay and headlights go out but not the tail lights or front indicator lights.
Common Corolla problem, the DRL module likely burned out. Smell it. For 2000 and 2001 it was just left of glove box latch hidden. Google your 2005 location. Clean your battery terminals, system takes the path of least resistance to ground which overheats the module. I hacked my burned DRL with a single jumper wire from the only constant hot power input (greenish if I remember right, third pin over from one side) to its closest neighbor connection on the circuit board (or the big solder ground anchor blobs) and pulled the high beam light bulb because that then stays on. Lights are now off, system finally hacked OK except for no high beam indicator. (Hi beams, lights all still work by the switch.) I haven't checked if lights are on automatically during the day yet.
Left kick panel you have a relay called an integration relay
see if you don't smell smoke feel hot that's whT keeps
lights on after car is turned off ebay has one for 40.00 bucks
Pull up your emergency brake just enough to where your brake light on your dash comes on. If this changes anything or even doesn't change anything then let me know and I'll look further into your issue. These are just some of my trouble shooting steps.

SOURCE: Corolla 99 headlights
The car is equipped with Daytime running lights so it will always be on...to turn it off you must go in the hood and on the right side next to the engine air filter and fuse box, there is two smaller fuze boxes and the first one going from down to up direction labels DRL left and DRL right which are two fuses 10A or so take them off and they will not come on!
SOURCE: Low beam headlights don't work
I know this is not your problem, but my low beam stopped working, both bulbs failed, no burn marks or broken element. Just had to tell someone
