Ok, I have a weird one. I just bought the car a week ago and everything has been good so far. It's an 06 Convertible. Today a after a quick drive I parked the car and when we went back to our parkade to get my wife's car the interior was lit up and the ignition was lit up green.
I started the car a couple of times to see if it would reset. It didn't Ultimately I had to unplug the battery to keep it from draining.
I haven't plugged the battery back yet (I'll do it in the morning). But why would the car stay lit up like that? It's like the car thinks the fob has unlocked it and it's ready to go.
Anyone have this issue. It's very strange and I know electrical problems are hard to diagnose.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The button I would check is the brightness control **** on the left corner of the driver side. If your knee hit this ****, it turns on the interior lights. Push to shut off, push to turn on.
I'm guessing that is what happened.

Good luck.
