Default 2002 Camry Light Problem

I have a 2002 Camry. The issue I am having is the parking and tail lights will not turn off. The head lights turn off as they should after 30 seconds or so but the parking and tail lights stay on. The only way I can get them to turn off is to pull the fuse. This just started the other day. Thanks

Update to this. Found that my son and a friend of his pulled the stereo out to look at it. The problem started after that. Does anyone know if there are any wires running behind the stereo that may be the cause. Thanks.

Which fuse did you pull, TAIL?

Does the car have auto off lights?

There are a host of wires for the system.

The TAIL relay activates the tail and parking lights either via the control switch or the Body ECU for auto lights.

Ask just what was done when the radio was removed.

Yes the car does have auto lights. When you turn the ignition off the head lights go off, but the parking and tail lights stay on. I waited a about 10 minutes to see if they would shut off but did not. I did pull the fuse that says TAIL on it, and the lights went off. As far as the radio they did cut some wires, and the radio is working fine. I did notice a red wire that looked like it had been cut, but was not reattached. Thanks.

If the radio has a built-in amplifier.

The only red wire is for the rear RH speaker.
