Question electric problem

I have a 2006 sportsman500 x2 my taillights stay on when the key is off also noticed that I can trun my headlights on whenthe key is in the off postion. Ihad put a diode on my light so I could use both high and low beams together. found no broken wires would it be in the PDM

thanks Al

did you try unhooking the mod you put in to see if that is the reason for the odd lights being on? shouldn't be any power through the key switch until its tunred on unless the switch is bad or been wired somewhere wrong. imo

May be getting power through a HOT wire touching ground.......Rubbing somewhere...............
Unhook your black wire from the battery and with a volt/ohm meter using the volts DC scale...........put on test led on the frame and the other on the black ground wire.................if you getting any voltage reading...........your getting power leakage through your ground wire........Caper...........
