running light won't disable; parked
Hello;
I did a couple searches to no avail.
I am wondering if my headlight switch has ceased to fully function.
I normally start my car in the morning to let it warm up before driving to work;
This morning I did my usual routine, but I couldn't disable the running lights.
My understanding is that Canadian and USA cars both work the same when parked with the ebrake up - you flick the headlight switch backwards, and the DIC displays something like "autolights off".
This morning, nothing.
I would earnestly appreciate any help or pointers.

I think I found the culprit;
The switch at the park brake.
I cleaned the contact, and it seems to be working again... hopefully this does it.
I am starting now to see the car show it's age.
the outside air door recently also started doing that annoying clicking...
I am the original owner, and I am north of 170k miles.
