Interior Lights? Going crazy..

Ok guys-

My interior lights will not turn off.. The only way I can get them to turn off is to pull the fuse..

Once I pull the fuse, the lights go out.. After I replace the fuse, if I do anything to make the interior lights they stay on and I have to pull the fuse again and do the dance all over again..

Any ideas?

Jeff

If he puts the fuse back in and the lights stay off until opening the door then it leads me to believe the shutoff circuit is malfunctioning.

lol easy fixes are always the best.

Those hatches are a pain though when the windows are closed. The air pressure keeps them from latching easily. Found that out when I drove home not long after getting mine and every time I hit a bump my lights would come on... whoops.
