* Faulty headlight switch: The switch itself might be malfunctioning, causing the headlights to come on unintentionally.
* Wiring issues: A short circuit or damaged wiring could be sending power to the headlights when they shouldn't be on.
* Body control module (BCM) problem: While less likely on a 2001 Astro (they're simpler than newer vehicles), a malfunctioning BCM could be incorrectly activating the headlights.
You need to take your Astro to a mechanic or qualified auto electrician to diagnose and repair the issue causing your headlights to turn on unexpectedly. Trying to "disable" something that isn't a feature of your car's design is not the solution; fixing the underlying electrical problem is.
