I've recently noticed that my passenger vanity mirror light does not go off when the lid (mirror) is closed. If the car doors are closed but the car is not locked the light stays on. Also when the car is being driven the light is always on as well. It seems the lid mechanism that controls when the light goes off is not operating. When I lock the car the light does go off. Found out the hard way to always lock my car in the garage as the battery wore down rather quickly. If under warranty is this covered? Can I remove a fuse to disable this without effecting something else? Or should I remove the bulbs?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

If still under warranty it is covered. You can also unclip the sun Visor from the inner bracket. That stops the current from going to the light.
