My dome lights and running boards lights are not turning off when I turn my vehicle off. It eventually shuts off over a couple hour time period. Is there some way to adjust how long these stay on? Is there a sensor or something that might need to be cleaned off?

If you have a light control module then that is probably failing. However if the dome light is activated by small switches in the door pillars it is possible that the contact points may be rusty or have a bad earth.

its either a bad door switch,or could be the dome override switch by headlight switch,or your interior light switch is all the way up

try looking for the problem in the light module. It appears that it is faulty.

check the bulbs they commonly burn out if there good then turn the dome light on and off a couple time there is a mode to shut them off it also needs to be in gear to turn on

Make sure the dash panel dimmer switch did not get turned on accidentally. Open and close all the car doors securely. The next thing you could do is locate the fuse box and remove the fuse. You could also call the rental place and ask them if they have any suggestions.

Are you sure there not running in daytime running light, when you think high beams are on

Also, there is sensor on the dash, usally on the speaker grate, that senses night and day. In the daytime your headlights will automatically come on when your car is in drive, and be on the high beam bulb, but dimmer than regular. At night, or in low light conditions, your lights will automatically switch from daytime lights to regular low beams. And yes, even when your switch on the dashis turned off, your lights work automatically.

To turn of the auto setting, just push the override button for your dome light, in and out 3 times, you should hear a chime, and your lights should shut off. This setting resets everytime you shut your vehicle off. Or to turn the auto setting back on, push the over ride button 3 more times.

Check your DOME light switch. There are 3 positions. Completely OFF even with doors open, ON with doors shut so you can read while parked, NORMAL for the lights to come on only when the doors are open.

Your headlight switch will also turn everything ON inside when it is turned completely to one side. Just twist this switch a little towards center if this is on.

my 99 honda crv, 2 wheel drive. turns on..drives for a period of time, then ramdomly shuts off and then i have trouble turning it on..but it does turn on eventually. it does this everyday

I have the same truck. The thing is designed so that the radio and dome light and even the windows will operate for a time which should expire immediately when you open the door. Try turning on the radio with engine running and then turn off the engine and just sit there and the radio should still play. Try the power windows - they too should go up and down. Finally open the drivers door and that should immediately kill the radio, windows and dome light. If it does not - you will need to report that problem to your dealer since the problem is in that timer feature which is part of the vehicles "brain". Sorry I can't be more helpful.

If it has automatic or a domelight that stays on for a while after you shut the door is on a timer relay and that is probably getting bad. As far as the door ajar message there is a switch in the door jam, look and see if you see it. Take wd40 and try to soak the switch try to get it inside the switch.If its incorporated in the door latch spray back inside the door latch real good. Open and close the door several times and see if it works then.
