Are they the stock bulbs, or did you put LEDs?
Also, maybe check if there is a separate fuse for the map lights?

walleyejack

stock bulbs. if the fuse was blown, would the lights not work ? but i will check anyway. try anything.
only shuts off when the battery saver, or whatever the system is called kicks in

How long have you had the car? Not trying to be smart, you don't happen to have the spare keys in the car by chance?

walleyejack

i understand you are trying to help. had it for a year. spare fob in the house.

I have experienced this before, just trying to recall the solution... Are you leaving the car in neutral? Reverse?

walleyejack

sometimes n, sometimes reverse. i back in. so where ever it ends up. this wasn t problem last year and just started the last month or so. something funky going on.

It could be the switch for the door, as well... Not registering that it is closed properly.

i am a &!$593,/$*3( idiot. i tried the dimmer button in and out. obviously not very good.
tried a few things and the push button again. presto.
i don t ever remember hitting getting in and out. guess it happens
thanks. this so embarassing.

TOVetteFan

Awesome! Glad you figured it out....

Did the same thing 3 times recently.I don't remember hitting the button cause as soon as I park it , I put the e brake on & the memory function pushes the seat full aft.I have zero recollection of hitting the dimmer button, but then again, at my age .............lol!
P.S. I wasn't embarrassed.

walleyejack

but you didn t ask for help Wilf. and you are a youngster. when you get to my age, it is acceptable

Airwilf

But I did tell my dealership ,but I figured it out before I went back.I "retired" (quit) July 31/14.Lookin for work-sort of..............This "honey-do" list is REALLY growing thin.

Lookin for work-sort of..............This "honey-do" list is REALLY growing thin.

Wilf you just need to say 2 words, "yes Dear" and just walk away, you have plenty of time for the list now that you are retired, i've been retired 4 years and i'm getting good at forgetting... lol

Airwilf

"Yes dear" in ANY tone of voice is negative goodness here! lol! Also, NEVER use "I told you so".At least the garage is heated...........
