Courtesy lights stay on, have to remove the fuse

Courtesy Lights
The courtesy lights come on under the following conditions:
?€¢
Any door is opened.

?€¢
The interior lamp switch is in the ON position.

?€¢
The keyless entry transmitter unlocks the doors (illuminated entry).

When the key is removed from the ignition switch with all of the doors closed, the courtesy lights light for approximately 25 seconds before fading out.
Battery positive voltage (B+) is applied at all times through the IP fuse block CTSY LP/PWR MIR fuse 6A via CKT 640 (ORN) through the body control module (MALL) to the courtesy lights via CKT 1732 (ORN). The MALL provides a ground through CKT 156 (WHT) for the courtesy lights under the following conditions:
?€¢
The MALL receives an input from a door being opened.

?€¢
The MALL receives an input from the interior lamp being turned ON.

?€¢
The MALL receives an input from the doors being unlocked using the keyless entry transmitter.

The courtesy lamps then light.
When the courtesy lights are activated by opening and closing a door, the courtesy lights will remain on for approximately 25 seconds before fading out after all of the doors are closed. If the ignition switch is turned to START or RUN within the 25 seconds, the lights immediately begin to fade out. If a door is left open, the MALL removes battery positive voltage (B+) to the courtesy lights after 10 minutes. When the courtesy lights are activated by the interior lamp switch, the lights remain on as long as the interior lamp switch is in the ON position. When the courtesy lights are activated by unlocking the doors using the keyless entry transmitter, the lights remain on for approximately 40 seconds. If the doors are locked using the keyless entry transmitter within the 40 seconds, the lights immediately begin to fade out.

What interior light ? Dome , courtesy lights etc....They don't work with switch, keyless entry , door opening ?
What

do you have the light switch on? also there is a little switch on the door that gets pressed when you close it this part could be broken causing the car to think the door has been left open thus leaving on the courtesy lights

Hi Dennis,

Your courtesy lights are controlled by your Body Control Module (BCM). Normal operation is for the courtesy lights to stay on for 2-3 minutes after the door is closed, then turn off.If they stay on longer than about 3 minutes, then there are several possible causes:

1. You may have the "courtesy lamp override switch" in the overide position in the dimmer control on the dash.

2. you may have a door that is not completely closed. You need to check ALL of them.

3. You could have a defective door switch or dimmer control switch

4. you could have a short to ground in one of the door control switch circuits, causing the BCM to "think" that there is a door open.

The CORRECT way to fix this would be to scan your BCM for fault codes and also read the BCM data to find out if it is showing one of the doors as being open when they clearly are not, so you will know which door is causing the problem.

Removing the courtesy lamp fuse will NOT completely fix the battery drain problem if these circuits are shorted or malfunctioning because the BCM will STILL be "trying" to turn these lights on and this will also cause an excessive draw on your battery. However, removing the 15 Amp fuse marked "CTSY LMP/MIRROR" located in the instrument panel fuse block will get the lights turned off and at least slow down how fast your battery is draining.

some dimmer switches control the time the interior lights stay on and for how long

One of your door sensors (or trunk sensor) is signaling that it is open or the dimmer switch is turned all the way up, which turns on the dome and foot lamps. Try turning the dimmer switch all the way down. If this does not fix the problem you will have to get all the door sensors (and trunk sensor) tested to determine which one needs to be replaced.

im not to good electrical but i would say you have a bare wire touching metal or something. maybe a wiring glicth.

in the door jam you have aswicth, myte be cover with
rubber skin remove the rubber and unsrew the little
switch and replace it with anew one start with driver
door its the most used ( remove fuse first)

Have you tried the switch on the dash that turns them on? Are door switches adjusted properly?

there is a setting for that in the electronic info center. use the menu button to cycle through options displayed on instrument panel near the speedometer

Have you check the door ajar switch in each door?
