Expert Reply:
What you have is a short between the 12 volt accessory circuit which is in the 1:00 position of your 7-way and the running light circuit which is in the 11:00 position and basically the 12 volt circuit is powering the running lights to be on all the time. So what you'd want to do is go over the wiring of the 7-way and fix any obvious signs of a short like exposed wire.
