Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I need help. I have a 2000 cab and I have an electrical glitch. Here is what happens. When I turn the car off and get out of the car the interior lights will not go off unless I lock the doors with the remote. I checked to see that all the doors were closed but the lights stay on until the remote lock is used. Could this be a faulty ignition switch or something else. Any help would be appreciated.

POST 2Original post

Have you tried just waiting to see how long they stay on? Dash lights or the courtesy lights?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They stayed on for well over 30 minutes.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dash and courtesy lights.

All of these cars have a timed courtesy light feature. I'm not sure of the exact time. I think it might be 2 min or so? Depending on the car, the light should go off after a short time, then the dash. However, if it says on for more than 5 minutes, it could be a malfunctioning lock assembly. Inside the lock assembly, there is a microswitch that completes the circuit. When the circuit is "closed", this tells the ECU that the door is shut and secure. Do you notice anything while driving? Or, it is just when you parked?

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So far this is only when I park the car. My son, an engineer, disconnected the battery and the problem went away for just a while then came back. He said when he disconnected the battery it resets the electronic modules. So he thinks it is an electronic module. Do you happen to know the location of the modules or where I can find them.

POST 7Original post

Try this. Leave the door open when you turn off the car and get out. Then hit the remote button to see if anything behaves differently. I am suggesting this to see if maybe the door switch is bad.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'll try it. thanks.
