Well my problem is this, and it might be a quick fix but I need help! I own 2002 Convertible, and whenever I turn off the car, the mirror and interior lights (map light, whatever you call em) stay on. I pushed the little mirror lights off, fiddled around with the light knob, but no matter what, the lights stay on. I resorted to taking the fuse for that out just to conserve my battery life. Any of you ever go through this? The fuse looks fine. Any way to rectify this?

Are they perhaps on a timer and fade out after a little time?

Hmm, something must be awry in the PATS.

It's a 2002 it should still be under warranty, right?

Have them fix it.
