need electrical help! (Gremlins)

What common link is there between

1- Park lights
2- low beams
3- high beams
4- heater blower fan

If I turn on light at swich (no key in ignition) all of the above comes on, even high beam indicator on cluster

If I turn on the car I do not get DRL, I get High and Low beam at same time. Fogs do not work because I assume the high beam is on. As well as high beam indicator on cluster

Now If I unplug the flash to pass/dimmer switch on column problem persist.

I remove relay 173 and now I get no headlight @ DRL ... but all of the above if I turn on light @ switch, even the high beam indicator on cluster

If I unplug the light switch it also will cancel all the headlights.

Now all 4 fuse for lights are fine. Only on thing is weird. Removing the fuse should cancel the lights correct. They do exept for low beam on pass side will stay on (all 4 fuses are out) Oh yeah the car is running.

I also tried removing the Comfort Control Module (CCM) changed nothing?

Have you considered the ignition switch? Or on some models there is an ignition relay.

I have also tried disconnecting the ignition. I still get all the mentioned problems by turning on the switch.

I was just informed It might be in the box that holds the relays. Under the dash (left of steering wheel) The thicker bar that hold the relays. I guess it is full of metal conduits unprotected... so if only one of them overheats and warps it could energize the next closest.

I am going to junk yard now and will keep everyone posted.

Unfortunately it was not the problem.

I fount a mess of melted wires above the relays. It was obviously the cause of all my misery. Glad to find it before I lost the car to a fire
