sounds like a bad switch to me too. does kinda make you scratch your head that it is stuck in the on position but it can happen.

Take the switch apart carefully & clean it out.

Dealing with this on my wife's Avenger. If you take the switch apart you will see that the tip of the dimmer/turn signal lever sits in a pocket and is responsible for the dimming of the lights. May have broke or who knows. I know you'll figure it out.

does it feel like it is clicking as a switch should? could be a relay

Its probably a multifunction switch, $90 and hr labor to change

Far as I can see not a relay issue, just dimmer itself.
Don't know if it has the DRLs.
