Default interior lights wont turn off

My interior lights wont turn off, all the doors are shut and the car is locked, and they been on for a few hours. It says security in the guages while the car is off, im not sure if it was always like that.

I replaced the lights with led lights a few months ago, will these run down a battery if their on over night or do they not take up much power.

you may want to check the roller switch by the your headlight switch and make sure that its not turned on (not all the way up).

Alright when i try to push the door lock button on the inside it beeps like when you leave your lights on. So something is open or somethin.

I have checked all doors and lights can someone give some more things to check, that would cause the interior lights to stay on and the car to beep when i lock the doors.

thanks

the only things that i think it could even be are one of the doors/hatch are open, the roller switch is on all the way, or the buttons underneath the rearview mirror are turned on

Well only my front lights were on and i just had to take the bulbs out, and i dont think its sensing the keys are still in cause it doesnt beep constantly only when i push the lock door button on the inside.

Some sensor or something must be wrong.

Try pushing in the little tabs that sense if the door is opened or not. where the latch is and see if the interior lights turn off when you push in a certain one. if it does you've probaly found the problem door/hatch..

I have the same problem with my car. Then the problem randomly went away for a month and now the lights wont turn off again. I just disconnected my lights, it drove me nuts to drive around at night with these lights on all the time.
