The only way that I have found to get them to go off is to either push the lock putton on my key fob or push the lock button on the center console. Does anyone know what might be causing this behavior?
Thanks

Hi,
This is normal. If you lock the car, the lights go out immediately. If you don't lock it, the lights will stay on for 4 minutes, but some of the electronics stay on for up to two hours drawing battery power. It's best to lock the car once you're out...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
