PJB Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 '97 Cutlass Supreme 4 door. The mirror lights and the lights by the rear doors wont shut off, even with the ignition on. Hitting the switches makes the lights blink off but they come right back on. I also pushed in on each of the door switches to see if they went off but they didnt. I had to pull the fuse to get them to stay off. What could be the problem? It rained all day today, heavy at times. I dont know if that affects anything or not.

Regal_GS_1989 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Disconnect the Light switch, and see if they turn off. If so, than replace the switch. This is also gonna sound like a really obvious question, but are you sure that the switch for the interior lights is off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJB Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 You mean the switch on the dash? The switch was definately off when I was checking it out. The switches for all 4 lights were also off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regal_GS_1989 Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Yea, i meant that one. Next step I would do is disconnect the switch, and if possible hook up another one. If the lights function normally with the new switch, than you have found your problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 yeah I believe the theater dimming circuit is in the headlight switch, if that failed then they may stay on due to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJB Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Ill have to check it later. Is it easy to get to the switch? My brother borrowed the car (my father's car) so its not here now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 after pulling off the drivers/center dash bezel, yeah. I think it just snaps out after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJB Posted June 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Well this problem seemed to fix itself. I put the fuse back in to try to work on it and the lights went out when they were supposed to. Weird but its fine now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeMetz63 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Same thing happens to my 95 4 door cutty every time it rained. I sold that car without figuring it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
