What's interesting about LED lights is that since they draw such a low amount of amperage they can sometimes light up if there's just a tiny bit of bleed through current on the power circuit that previously wasn't seen. I would check to see if the lights get brighter or dimmer at any point when in use and if so that would confirm this.

You could also probe the wires or contacts that power the lights to see if they have voltage all the time and if so how much. It seems like they do based on what you mentioned.

The correct replacement LED for the ActionTrac step bars is the part # AA2090204.
