This is a problem caused by a sticking door ajar/courtesy light switch. The switch signal goes to the BCM (body control module) and that turns on the interior lights. Since each door has this switch you need to have the dealer use a special tool to scan the module inputs from the door switches and see which door switch is causing the lights to stay on.

I had the same problem with my 95 Lesabre. The owners manual says to take the key out, and wait 3 minutes(until the light goes off). It should fire right up.

I have a 93 buick regal but my front doors & rear

Well, the mirrors would be on the circuit with the courtesy lights. The door locks and windows would be on different circuits.
Why can't you unlock the driver's or passenger door with the key and open it with the door handle ?

95 buick lesabre door jam button that turns dome light on and off

I would think not correct. GM vehicles of that era were equipped with R.A.P(Random Auxiliary Power) it would keep certain systems on after shutting the car off.....(lights, radio, power windows) for up to 8 minutes. Unless you open the door, that would shut everything down. So if your power is staying on with doors open, most likely one or both of the relays in the RAP is bad

How to replace rear view mirror that has fallen off on a 1995 Buick Regal

Go to a part store and ask for rear view mirror adhesive. And follow the directions on the package. I have the best luck with the permatex brand.

The dome lights and floor lights stay on in my 1993 Buick Regal Custom. I have made sure that all doors are shut tight and still they stay on!!

This sounds like one of your door jamb switches have stopped working.

This could also be the dimmer switch on the dash. If it has failed, it could keep the lights on.

Also make sure you don't have the dimmer switch turned all the way up to where it keeps the lights on all the time.

93 buick regal courtesy lights stay on when car is off

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.
