Noticed that rear view inside lights would not go out....start button stayed green even after out of the car with my fob and the car locked...after ten minbutes they were still on....I would press "stop" and get out and it came back on and the lights never went out....

I unhooked battery for a few seconds and it "seems" to be ok....I hope I hope...

I've bumped the button a couple of times myself. First time took a little exploring to solve the problem. Car still locks even with the interior lights on, so it is not "fair game" without the fob.
