Interior Lights Stayed on??
Had to drive last nite using map quest to find the location. I put the interior lights on so my wife could read the address when we were getting close. We arrived and parked the car and went inside. After about 15 minutes she went back out to the car and returned asking "why are the interior lights on?". I asked if she had used the FOB and maybe they hadn't gone off yet..After about 5 minutes I went out side and the interior lights were still on...hmmmmm? I checked the dash **** (dimmer) and it was in the off position (turned CCW). I got out and closed the door and the lights still stayed on. I cycled the head light switch (turned it on and off) and then and only then could I get the lights to say off..
Tis a malfunction/computer error or.....? thanks for you help.

Also make sure that your trunk or rear hatch is totally closed and not up just a bit on one corner. This will also keep the light on.

Thanks for the reply's. No it was clear and dry out side. About 3 weeks ago my battery was dead (the car was bought new in April this year) and I was mystified as to why. Took it to the dealer and they checked out the whole system and gave it the OK. It might have been the lights and I didn't notice it?? I'll keep an eye on things and see what happens..

My thoughts too. One visual cue is that if the little white line is showing on the left side of the rocker switch(s), that means they are manually turned on. HTH

I don't know of any way that the dimmer **** could be turned to the left and the map lights still on?.. plus... the instrument lights were on as well. So something else must be going on?
