My interior lights won't shut off in my vehicle listed above. The other day I went to use the vehicle and it was dead. When I jumped it I noticed the interior lights were on, so I rocked the column switch back and forth to no avail. I was left with simply pulling the fuse until I can get back to it.
When I open each door the dash responds and tells me exactly which door is open or closed, including lift gate. So I would assume those door switches are good. Could it be the actual rocker switch up on the column? It is only $100.00 and only takes fifteen minutes to replace. Anybody else come across this?

Hello,

I have found some information concerning your issue. I have included it in the diagrams below. One of the things I was able to find is a Manufacturer Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) stating that they know about this problem, if you have a sunroof installed in your vehicle. Look them over and if you do have a sun roof in your vehicle, it wouldn't hurt to call your local dealership. You may be able to get this fixed for free there. It can't hurt to call. I hope this helps.

Thanks,
Alex
