Parking lights won't turn off

99 Dophin Ford F-53 chassic, parking lights won't turn off unless I disconnect the battery, when I re-connect the battery the parking lights don't come back on, I replaced the headlight switch and Relay that controls the lights, I did replace the power step a few months ago, don't know if that has anything to do with it, changed most exterior lights to LED'S, Thanks in advanced, Mike

I suspect a backfeed somewhere, which can be caused by a poor ground somewhere.

Check your trailer socket on the back of the MH. You may have to open it up and look inside.

A hot line, making contact with the tail light wire could be back feeding and keeping them on. I've seen some badly corroded sockets.

Did you have this problem before or after you changed to LEDs? Have heard that some people have lighting problems after changing over to LEDs.
