The dome lights on my car will not shut off until the battery save feature kicks in, after 20 minutes. The dash board lights will not dim with the dimmer switch on the dash.

So far I have replaced: the fuses, in the interior and under the hood, that could affect this; the dimmer switch on the dash; and the PCM (with a used PCM), and had the PCM reprogrammed at the dealer.

Is there anything else that could cause these lights to bahave like this?

I have donated in the past, but the only verification I got was from paypal. How can I be sure my donations get to you. I will gladly donate again. I really appreciate your help! Thank you.

Check to make sure the pin switch inside the door jam is not stuck open making the system think the door is still open. Thank you for your previous donation, our technicians really appreciate it.
