Are you sure they are actually on or is it just the light in the dash?

Sounds like a bad relay then.

Have you pulled it?

Pull it out then check for power at the GPs.

I'll bet they are all burned out now though :( Wont affect power of course but once you get this taken care of I'm betting you will need to replace them.
