My marker & tail lights are ON with the ignition turned off. Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this is much appreciated. Ciao.

Hi, Darcy, when you say ignition off you mean that you have the key in the off position or removed. These Mopars work that way, you can turn the light switch fully up and the road lights work too. Except if you mean that the light switch is in the off position (fully down) and the lights are still on...

Well, it turns out the brake light switch needed to b adjusted........ :bang head: lol! All the lights are working on the car now that I have ran ground wires to both tail lights and a new ground cable from the body to battery........sweet  Thanks again for the feedback. Ciao.

Weren't both the marker lights and tail lights on?

The rear and front side marker lights were on along with the rear brake lights (before I adjusted the brake switch). Once I ran my grounds the side markers began to operate correctly. Sidebar: I also had an issue with the turn signals not working, they would just light up with no flash so last week I was testing the turn signal switch at the end of the steering column and determined that I had a faulty turn signal switch, so I ordered one..........the following day I accidentally hit the turn signal lever and wouldn't you know, they started to work.......lol  :bang head. So I just changed the signal relay and now she is working just fine.
