Intermittent Headlight Problem

This morning, my next door neighbor called my cell phone to tell me that my headlights were on on my '91 9000S. I was out of town all week, and the car has sat in my driveway all week unused. I always leave the headlight switch in the on position. Luckily, the car was open, as I also have an issue with the driver's door lock, which disconnected from the key lock. He said that turning the light switch to off did nothing. The only way he got the headlights to go off was to flash the high beam lever.
I had an issue with the headlights a couple of weeks ago. When I went to move my car one morning, the lights did not go out when I shut off the ignition. Again, turning the headlight switch to off did nothing. I finally pulled the headlight relay. Things seemed to be working normally until this morning.
I searched the 9000 board, and I am wondering if my headlight relay is the culprit. I got home this afternoon and opened up the relay. 6 of the solder points on the back of the circuit board look like they have flux around them, but are otherwise solid. Any thoughts?
