Headlights won't turn off 200 1988

Finally got the head back on this car and got it running. I bought it in a non running state and it had been sitting for almost a year.

Checking out the lights before putting it on the road and have run into a problem.

The headlights will come on when the switch is moved to the position that will normally turn them on. In that position however none of the lights on the rear of the car are on.

Moving the headlight switch back one position (center position on the switch)will light the rear lights on the car but the headlights stay on.

Turning the headlight switch to the OFF position will extinguish all the lights except the headlights. Once the headlights are are they remain on with the switch in any position.

When I disconnect the battery of course the headlights go out. Reconnecting the battery will not cause the headlights to come back on.

I assume a relay sticking is part of the problem but that would not explain no lights at the rear of the car when turning the headlights on.

Any help is greatly appreciated as I have confessed before I am electrically challenged.

Randy
