Anyone know what's up with this?

I used my SVT Contour to jumpstart my other car because the battery was dead. That worked fine (following instructions in the Contour manual).

Now the highbeam indicator light on the dash stays on all the time, unless I turn on the parking lights or headlights.

Also, I killed my DRLs (Canadian car). They don't work at all.

Wonder what other damage could have been done...

Anyone else experience weird stuff like this after jump starting another car?

I pulled the battery connections, waited 10 mins and reconnected to reset the computer...no luck. DRLs still dead. Will check the fuses/relays next.
