    Wth.. the front interior light will not turn off, no matter which switch position it is in.. (yes I have put it in the off position)

    Even when I lock the car or put it in gear, it still doesn't turn off.

    The back row light turns off fine.

    The open door signal is not on. I've gone around and pushed all the door close switches to no avail.

    How long can the light stay on before the battery drains assuming it was full.

    Are you referring to one of the map lights or the dome light?

    The map lights are also a push-switch. Push on the light to turn it off.

    Its the dome light, the one next to the rear vision mirror. Anyhow, I've pulled fuse 32. I'll take my car in tomorrow and see if the service department can sort it out.

    Each map light has an additional internal switch so either map lite can be turned on independent of all the other interior lights. Push up on the outboard edge of the clear light lens to operate this switch. push up once , it's on, push up again and it turns off.

    Ha! You rock, thanks. I must have pushed both because they were both on.

    I didn't even know about that function. I guess I read the wrong part of the manual last night.
