    Today, another ordinary day.. or so i thought. I get in the car and start heading to work, and noticed that all of the interior lights are on, so i thought my door was opened, even thought the computer center there shows no doors opened. so i stopped, opened and closed each door, and did the same to the trunk,,, and the interior lights remained on. they only turned off after a few mins with the key out of the ignition, guess cause not to ware down the battery....

    any ideas on this??

    any way the dimmer is pushed all the way up, you know the manual interior light switch on the head light switch?

    thats not as bad as parking in known flood area and knowing it was going to rain like mad, and not moving the car, water 1/2 way deep in the interior, talk about a dumb move, then i had to remove the whole interior, take apart the seats pull the carpet, all just to dry it all out with out it smelling bad. now thats a bad day!

    ill take a dimmer switch left on any day lol

    Same thing happened with my Cavalier. was the weirdest thing. i fought with the dome light for 20min. eventually gave up and just cut the wires going to it. Needless to say that car had many odd gremlins in the electrical system
