I have a 2005 Saturn Vue 4 cyl. the high beams stay on. When the lights are set to auto or manual the high beams stay on. The only way to make them go off is to take the fuse out that controls the headlights. Thought it might be the battery, had it checked was bad replaced the battery same issue with the lights. My last thought it may be the alternator but nothing in the owners manual obout the alternator. Trying to not have the car towed to a shop so any help with be great.
Do these lights stay on when the ignition is off? If yes check the light relay. If the lights are on all the time but only when the ignition is on, these are your daytime running lights. Nearly all GM products have daytime running lights as standard equipment since about 1997. A safety feature that makes your car more easily seen by oncoming traffic. It would be foolish to attempt to disable this safety feature. When the daytime running lights are on the high beams stay on, but only at half power. This is not enough energy to effect the battery or charging system. It does not significantly reduce the high beam bulb life. Besides, what's more important? The lifespan of a replaceable light bulb or your lifespan. The daytime running lights should be on any time the ignition is in the on position. The position of the headlight switch has no effect on the daytime running lights.
