I got to work this morning and turned off my headlight switch but the parking lights and tail lights won't turn off. The warning buzzer is going off too but lights won't turn off. Any thoughts?? It's a 95
HELP!!! Before my battery dies!!

Update. I pulled the fuse which turns the lights and buzzer off. I'm assuming it may be a stuck relay but I can't find a tail relay. I found a couple relays when I pulled the driver side kick panel off but no way to ID them and call me a dumba$$ but I can't get any of them out and I don't want to break anything on the fuse block trying. Anyone know if indeed there is a tail relay and if so where. Also I though about it and I'm pretty sure the lights were off when I left my shop this morning and it was still dark. I drove right by the 4runner leaving in my company truck and I'm pretty sure I woulda noticed them being on. I got back 8 hours later and it started right up with no strain from the battery so I'm thinking the just came on by themselves.

Ok so I am now thoroughly confused. After some google research I found the tail relay and yanked it which killed the lights. Still not sure this is 100% the problem, if I could find my meter I would check it but apparently someone borrowed it without telling me. But anyways I went online to see if any local parts stores had one and they all keep coming up with a different relay. The one in the truck was a 3 prong round metal relay and every site is telling me its a 4 prong plastic. I googled the #'s on the relay and have found that the only 4runner it fits is an 84 as a headlight relay. And apparently it's a special order part that takes a few days to get in. I have no idea what to think. It is a toyota relay so I'm thinking its never been replaced and the ones they are saying go to my truck will not fit in the fuse block. What's next???
