Do your interior lights stay on?
This fix was posted on CF buy I did not see it here. Mine did this morning and the fix was really simple so I thought I would pass it on. The lock cylinder key slot was not vertical, it was partly turned. I straightened the key slot and all fixed.

Door key cylinder?
Most of the time our interior lights stay on is due to faulty door/rear hatch switches. The plungers contacts corrode or wear. Last edited by tf95ZR1; 07-12-2016 at 02:13 AM. Reason: Wanted 2 |

Re: Do your interior lights stay on?
Yes the key lock cylinder. From what I read, (note I have not verified) there is a switch on the lock cylinder and when the cylinders are worn they may not return to vertical, thereby keeping the switch closed. I was gonna pull the wiring diagram to see what the arrangement is but have not yet, as I was so happy it was a quick fix, I moved on to something else. I thought the other switches were the likely culprit as well. I tested this theory with the door closed, if I move the slot past vertical about 20 degrees the lights will come on and stay on until the slot is vertical.
Now that I think about it, one would either need a switch on the lock cylinder or on the locking mechanism if you wanted the lights to come on before you opened the door. Quote:
