Recently my 98 Explorer Headlights stopped shutting off. I have pulled all the fuses, relays and switches(I did it one at a time, made no difference, then had them all out at the same time and they were still on. The only way I can shut them off is to disconnect the battery or unplug them. Any ideas?
Does the vehicle have daytime running lamps ? Did you pull fuse from the inside the vehicle fuse panel ? I/P Fuse # 12 30 amp underhood fuse box is for the headlamp switch . Sounds like daytime running lamp module is the problem . But , without testing this is just a guess , by looking at a wiring diagram . Do you know what a automotive electrical wiring diagram is ?

either the headlight relay is stuck on. or the daytime running light module or relay is bad. to confirm find the relay center and switch the headlight relay out with another relay with the same part# on it. there should several in the relay center with the same part #. If this fixes the problem get a replacement relay. if not try switching out the relay for the daytime running lights. if no dice then unplug the daytime running light module.

Look under the hood.
There is a large relay which should have some info about lights on it.
I had this exact problem with my dodge ram

The headlamp switch will cause the lamps to turn off. The switch heats up and turns the headlamps off. It will cool down and work for about 10 minutes and cut out,
