[alfa] Berlina Tail Lights Always On

["James P. Reza" <jpreza@xxxxxxx>]

Hey folks,

Yesterday, the tail lights on my 1969 Berlina came on at some point 
while I was driving (just after washing the car). They refuse to 
"switch" off (a misnomer, since they are on even though the light 
switch is in the "off" position. None of the other lights are on, 
including the rear side markers. I disconnected the battery so as not 
to discharge it while the Berlina was in the garage overnight, but 
when I connected the battery this morning, a small spark indicated an 
open circuit and sure enough, the lights were on. With the light 
switch in the "on" position, everything appears to work as normal, 
but the tail lights do not go off when the switch tells them to.

Thanks in advance for any assistance, clues, or just understanding 
nods of the head.
