Alarm help please?

I activate my alarm with the remote.But the headlights stay on. Deactivate still on.Sometimes its both headlights or itll be the left or the right. I know the headlights suppose to blink off and on when i set the alarm off . But its not doing that. Right now the right headlight is on but i took the fuse out. I hear a clicking in the dash. could it be some relay.

i don't know much about alarms but in the electronics section they have a sticky about wiring setups/diagrams for all gens you might check that if you haven't already.

Through the forum and my chiltons. I found that red/yellow wire is drivers side headlight and red/green wire is the passenger side headlight. So those two wires should direct me to the relay or two relays (1 for left HL and 1 for right HL? Which makes my light flash when alarm is set off.

One thing to try--- When you shut the car off, flip the stem that turns the headlights on forward like you are putting your brights on. One one of mine the stem was a little bad and it would let the lights on by failing into the positon like when you pull the stem BACK to just flash your brights. If that stops the problem it may not be your alarm but the stem instead.

I think its the alarm. Cause when i reseted the alarm buy putting the key on on and pressing the cut off switch. It would turn the headlight off Then a lil while later it'll come back on. But now my right headlight is just stuck on. Which i took the fuse out till the morning.
