Interior Light Problem--->ignition switch

Friend:
Any trouble getting the key out?
Is your radio also staying on?
Maybe ignition switch is going.

Then it sounds like one of your door switches is not working properly. First make sure your middle console is closed completely (clicks) along with gas door, both trunks and doors then use the remote to lock the doors and see if you get the beep. If you do, open one of your doors and push the button down that normally turns the lights off. Twist it some to see if it can make contact and push it in to see if the lights go out. If not, try the other side.

If that doesn't work, you could pull the alarm codes with the durametric tool if you have it or know someone who does and see if there's something up with the alarm/locking system. I don't think there are any relays for the interior lights so I'm not sure where to go from there. Hopefully Tool Pants has run into something in the past that can help you out.

Sounds like your car thinks the door is opened when it is actually closed.

The usual suspect is the door latch that has an open/close switch on it.
