Electrical Problem - Need Help!

[mjaggy]

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?

Do they turn off when you turn on the ignition, but are on at all other times? If yes, you might have a defective switch in the driver's side door lock assembly, or a defective GEM (generic electronics module). In the case of a bad switch, the lights should turn off after 30-40 seconds (even when a door is left open).
