Default HELP!-- Interior Lights Stuck On???

I've been cleaning my car for a couple of hours now......doors open/closed several times throughout the process. I'm done and the interior lights (on the rear view mirror) are stuck on. I've armed the car, disarmed the car, made sure all doors/hatch is closed, even started and driven it a mile and they still won't go off? WTF? Anyone know what the hell is goin on?

Push the button that is located on the dash just to the left of the steering wheel above your left knee.


Be very, very careful though, I can't remember if it's the interior light on/off switch or the ejection seat button...just in case, you might want to sit in the passenger seat when you push it....

one of the body computors may have gotten confused by battery low voltage . try disconnecting the battery , charge it, and then put it back on line.

Do this one first. Just push it all the way in one time and release it. That should fix the problem.

More likely to be the other solution, above.

That's hysterical, seriously. I laughed my a$$ off.


I went to disconnect the battery and the negative cable was loose, very loose. I disconnected it and then snugged it back on and problem solved.

I had a few beers while cleaning the car.....I thought I had lost my mind....."Am I drunk after 3 beers??" I kept asking myself . Anyway, I'm all set- thanks fellas
