Hello, I just bought a used Charger and noticed that the lights on the shifter and the lights around the fan and temperature knobs are always lit. All of the other lights go off after I shut the car off. Can you please help me? Thank you for your time!

Hello, I do have a clock and cup holder - no heated seats. I took another look and realized that the red triangle for the hazards and the control for the dome/headlights are also lit. Thank you so much! (You're quite welcome for the donate)

O.K. Are the lights on in cup holder and clock? Is battery being drained so car won't start? Are the lights effected when dashlight dimmer is turned?

No, all of the other lights go off - the car starts fine, and the dimmer does not effect the lights. I don't have a light on my cup holder, sorry that I misunderstood!) Thanks again!

The lights are controled by a driver circuit in instrument cluster. So a fault in cluster is likely. Does car have warranty? If yes take it in if no will need to be diagnosed with DVOM and pin tests.
