My credo
i think i have some truck on my rust
anyone have this happen? intermittent issue, my high beam indicator light (and possibly my high beams, maybe just headlights/ low beams) will sometimes turn on without any input, when the headlights are off, just using drls. its not even when i hit a pothole or something, seriously just whenever it feels like it. could it be the multifunction switch, or is there a relay I've got that's sticking? i cant find a relay location for the hi beams or lows.

Evil spirit or actual demonic possession.

Consult your local priest, or tech priest.
 
Definitely an electrical gremlin
 
Definitely demonic possession. Try putting holy water in your windshield washer.

This was a new one on me.

Looking at the '91 EVTM, it looks like it would have to be something breaking down in the Daytime Running Lights module itself, as the high-beam indicator light is fed directly from it.

DRL module is on the "LH side of the radiator support". Here are the schematics for the DRL system:
