Default Lights on when battery connected

Hate to ask a question like this , nothing's coming up on search.

My Cherokee was in an accident where the previous owner rear ended a new Chevy pick up.

I replaced the grill and rad and front clip from my old xj. Now that everythings together when I hook up the battery the lights come on without the light switch on or the key in the ignition.
I unhook the battery whenver I'm not driving for oblivious reasons.
Anyone know what causes this, is it a fuse? Or something electrical?

Canadian? Do you have the Daytime Running Lights?
There is a DRL module buried way back in the passenger's side of the engine compartment, near the inner fender. If it's shot the lights won't turn off.
