If just the dome light, perhaps you turned it on (maybe cleaning the windshield) and didn't realize it?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

11 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.

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

POST 1Original post

This morning when I closed my trunk I noticed the dome light and the rear trunk lights will not turn off. I tried open/shut both trunks....turning the alarm on/off.....but they both stay on. I'm going to bring the car in 1st thing tomorrow but I'm concerned that the battery will die overnight and the lights may burn out. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

With the car on, is there a door ajar indicator on? Checked all the interior light switches? If you don't want the battery to die, disconnect it overnight?

POST 3Original post

Turn OFF the dome lights. There are tiny rocker switches on the dome lights.

POST 4Original post

They take about 2 minutes to power off when you leave the vehicle. I assume you know that and are waiting long enough? If just the dome light, perhaps you turned it on (maybe cleaning the windshield) and didn't realize it?

POST 5Original post

Thanks for the suggestions, the dome light will not turn off, even when I use the little rocker switch next to them. No door is ajar. Just went to the garage, even with the alarm on it still had the interior lights on. The only ones that are not on is the door ones. even with the car moving and the door open I am not getting a door ajar indicator. I'm think maybe the sensor in the rear latch has went bad???

A quick video....now there is a warning light 57EAF2CD-AC2F-4BDA-9637-F1F7F8ABDD7D-5020-000004AA346BFDDE_zps9121ae08.mp4 Video by quattrosaint | Photobucket

POST 7Original post

What did the problem turn out to be? I just woke up to a dead battery and when recharged, my dome lights and lower door sill lights are staying on. My domes can be turned off, but the door sill lights won't go off...

POST 8Original post

Mine turned out to be a faulty switch in the dome itself, something was loose on the board itself. . Within a few hours I had my car back. Sorry for your problems, that and the fuse box may be a good place to start

POST 9Original post

Thanks! Have an appointment tomorrow, but will check those two things, too.

POST 10Original post

let me know how it turns out i have the same problem with my door lights, occurred to me 3 times already for the last 30 days. i had to turn the engine on then off a few times before it turns off when the door is locked.

POST 11Original post

If your ignition is on the left then turn your key too the left twice instead of just once. Just had the same issue and remembered that little step is a secondary power shut off to the system. Let me know 👍 worked for me!!
