Default C5 interior lights won't go out
The interior lights in my 2003 C5 won't go out so every time I get in the battery is dead. Any idea how to fix this?

Are they off when you are driving around at night?

Is the interior switch off? Right under the cluster.

Have you switched out any lights to LED's?

Are all the interior lights staying on, or just the map lights under the rear view mirror?

Make sure you haven't rotated the instr lamp dimmer switch all the way to the end to turn on the interior lights. You can do it with a knee, or cleaning.

If it is the switch/****, then the interior footwell lights will be on at night while driving the car... right?
