I would say you're switch is probably broken. You should take it apart and see is broken, or can be fixed.

Don't know really. Does the switch still click 3 times still, or did it get harder to turn it. I don't know if it will break if you try to pull on the ****.

If a fuse was bad it would break the circut causing them not to come on at all. For the time being, just pull the fuse instaed of unhooking to battery.

I would check the relays if I were in that situation. If the switch feels fine...although it could still be a bad lead inside the switch...

Look at the cover for the fuse box under the dash, if you don't have a cover just start pulling fuses until they go off

unhook your battery, they will go off.

Seriously, your relay could go bad and stop functioning in the the "ON" position causing your lights to not shut off.
