Today I was cleaning my car and after a while I noticed my side lights and back lights were on. Thinking I had knocked a switch whilst cleaning I went to turn them off, but the switch is in the off position. I have tried everything I can think of to turn them off, there aren't any switches I haven't tried. The only way to turn them off is to disconnect the battery.
Whilst cleaning I did fiddle about around the fuse box under the drivers side dashboard, but not enough to pull plugs out e.t.c. I also think the lights just turned on by themselves because I had been cleaning around them and hadn't noticed them being on, but the next minute they were (without me going back inside the car).
When I turn the lights from the off position to sidelights I can hear a relay click from behind the fuse box from the sounds of it.

Please help me its driving me mad, is my car trying to tell me something.

MY95 WRX RA Import FYI.

Cheers
