My 2004 camry wipers stay on and wont turn off until the ignition is turned off and the headlights wont turn on until the ignition is turned off and stay on until the battery is disconnected

Diagrams show a common ground for headlights and wiper/washer "EB left fender". Likely other circuits share that same ground so weird things may happen.

Sorry, I don't have exact location for ground EB.

Possible bad ignition switch. Security is partly ignition as well as headlights r part of security all tied to ignition.

Should be looked at by certified mechanic. Not hard, but not easy fix either.

How to find an electrical disturbance in 1998 ford expedition

Normally this condition is the result of a poor body ground connection. Testing for this can be deceiving. At the static(nothing on) condition, testing can show a good ground. However when a circuit is excited, it has a determined resistance and a set current flow. If the ground connection to this or a branch circuit is loose, corroded, or broken wire. This will allow just enough connection to show as being good, but not good enough to complete the circuit with the required amount of connection when energized.

Headlights stay on, ignition turned off

If you turn car off and remove key from ignition, th? headlights will stay on until you open the driver side door, its part of an auto on headlight system. you can leave your selector light switch on the headlight position or on the daylight lamp relay (DRL) position. and open the driver side door and the lights will go out and not stay on. so it saves running your battery down. That feature is only on SLE trim line on the Solara.

This sounds like how the headlights on this vehicle are designed to operate. They can be manually turned on if in DRL mode. Setting the park brake before turning the ignition on should keep them from lighting, otherwise they are always on. The light sensor switches between lowbeam and daytime running light modes.

Sounds like there is a short in the bulb of your headlight. Try replacing it to see if that helps.

Under your hood is a plastic box with relays in it, the headlight relay is stuck. Tap it with something and it will release. Probly should replace the relay. See owners manual or google the headlight relay location. Cheap at an auto store.

Please check the switch on your steering column, it must have been left in the on position. Subaru vehicles have a separate switch for the parking lights to be kept on in case the ignition key is removed. Many times the switch (position switch) is turned on by the driver/cleaner accidently.
