interior light remains on until car is locked

[southernstar]

Particlewave, I don't believe it is a microswitch for the doors precisely because the horn doesn't honk when I lock the car (as it will if a door, or the trunk or the armrest is not completely closed). Anyway, I went out to my car, put keys in the ignition, turned the keys on, then off and removed them without locking. I'll go back out in a couple of minutes and see if the lights/odometer went out.

Thanks ccjazz, mystery solved! I went back out after 4 minutes and both the interior light and the odometer were off. Not sure how long it took (and for the reasons already indicated, I couldn't be bothered waiting beside my car for them to go out), but they did!

Maybe patience is a virtue afterall....... Nah!

Thanks again,

Brad
