It sounds like headlamp switch or body control module has failed. Unplug [headlight](/topics-headlight-ford/) switch to see if they shut off, if not replace. If so replace body control module. Here are also testing instructions and wire diagram for system from manual. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks.
