Sounds like the timing unit which automatically turns off your dome lights after a few minutes is working backwards. Probably need a new unit.

Interior lights stay on wile i'm driving my 2005 lincoln navigator

Only one bad door switch should do that

The 20 min time out is the GEM or Body Module,
which is normal only because you have a bad switch,
otherwise it goes to sleep when either front door opens

Put radio on & open a door,the radio should go off
& kill the time delay if no issues exist

unhook your battery for 5 mins then hook it back up go to each door and open and close one at a time that way you know which door is having the problem once you find that out replace the door switch and problem fixed or just dont open that door.

Interior Lights - Check door ajar switch, its possible that go to bad.

Interior lights stay on in '98 windstar.why?

You should have a switch that controls your dash lights so you can make the lights brighter at night. See if that switch is tuened all the way up. Turn it the opposite direction and see if your lights go out. Hope this helps Leave comment.

Interior Lights and Door Ajar light stay w/beeping noise.

Try spraying WD-40 into the door latching mechanism (door side). I learned this fix after two battery replacements, but have only had to spray twice in the more than seven years of ownership
