Did anyone figure this out? This is happening right now with our 1994 Corolla Wagon.....have to take the battery cable off to shut lights off. Mechanic already ruled out the steering wheel light switch.....says it might be something fused together in the fuse box.

Figure what out? Which lights are staying on? Is your mechanic diagnosing it right now?

I separated your post from an old one that nobody came back with what did or didn't fix their problem.
If your mechanic with the car in front of him/her is just guessing but has ruled out a multifunction switch then I sure don't know what to suggest. If that mechanic thinks it's in the fuse box then take it out and check for a short,

I'd like to know how a short in a fuse box could make the lights stay on.

Could be a short between the steering wheel and the seat.

The parking lights in the front and the brake lights in the back stay on including the dashboard lights. When you press down on the brakes the lights do get brighter and the cyclops light does come on....I think that rules out the brake switch? Our mechanic ordered a part for the steering wheel switch and that did not work....all the fuses were pulled out and lights are still on. He put a quick disconnect on the battery and gave us the car back until he could do some further research....he is really swamped with cars right now. He is thinking that I might have to replace the entire fuse box. Hopefully someone has had this issue and it is just a simple fix....

I thinks there's some smoking going on but it isn't coming out of the fuse box.

I don't think the brake lamps are staying on. The parking lamps are staying on. If the brake lamps where shorted to something and staying on, the third brake lamp would be on too.
Does your mechanic have the diagram of the tail lamps circuit?
It has the stock radio in it?
Are the tag lights on too?

In the morning when you get a chance. Remove the tail fuse 15 amp and see if the lamps stay on. If they do, there are some connectors that you can unplug to isolate where the short is. The hard part is finding the location of those connectors. There is also an intergration relay that the tail lamp circuit runs through and they had problems with those. Just need to isolate the location of the short to power.

He most likely won't charge me for the time and labor he has put into it already. You get what you pay for.
I suppose so....he has fixed many a vehicle for family and friends and gotten us back out there. We have had a few issues over the years, but he always takes them back in and fixes it.
His shop is way off the beaten path and he does absolutely no advertising, but he is always has more business then he can sometimes handle. Ends up working most weekends and even has to have a pullout couch when he can't get home.
