Default Interior Lights won't turn off. HELP!

As the title states, all interior lights will not shut off! I've checked each door switch manually and no luck. Any master off switch that I'm not aware of (other than disconnecting the battery).

doesn't the headlight switch turn to turn on-off the interior lights? worst case, remove the bulbs in between sessions with it...

Have you checked your headlight switch? Turning the **** fully counter-clockwise will turn on interior lights. The two door switches as well, either of them will turn the lights on.

If its not the switch then you have to assume you have a short. All the switches for the interior lights just connect a ground. Its going to take a while to trace that becasue you will have to disconnect each switch one at a time and if its not a switch shorting then you have to trace each wire and look for the bare section of wire...good luck. keep us posted.

try disconnecting one light bulb at a time, maybe you will get lucky
