jenniferpa Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 95 Cutlass Supreme Coupe. My son just called me to say he parked the car, but all the interior lights have come on and stayed on. He's tried opening and closing the doors several times to no avail. Any ideas? TIA Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Uh... hmm. First of all - how long do you wait for the lights to go off.. they usually stay on and fade out. Also, it's possible the doorpin has failed somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy K Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 the lights have a timer. must wait 30 second after closing the door....... could that be it? there is also the posibility one of the doorpins having failed.... the lights will turn off after a few minutes automatically.

jenniferpa Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Sorry guys: you were too quick for me. Apparently he knocked the rheostat that controls the dash lights - putting it full on turns all the interior lights on: you learn something new every day. Problem solved. Thanks for the quick responses. Jennifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfangd Posted May 28, 2007 Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 lolol. shit happens. Either way they do time out. The only ones that i think do not time out is the mirror lights. at least mine dont Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenniferpa Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Yes, I've read on the board that there is a time-out, so that after a certain period of time they will go out. However, twice now an inadequately closed door has resulted in a flat battery (at least that's where I've placed the blame). I'm wondering now whether turning the dash rheostat somehow disables this feature: this would explain why there have been more occasions when I've found the door inadequately closed but HAVEN'T had a flat battery.

jenniferpa Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Well in this case because my son is a he (at least I assume...) Actually, this problem is more likely to occur with a male: my (female) legs are much shorter than his (male) legs and having watched him get out of the car, teenage gangly legs and arms akimbo, if there's anything to BE knocked he's more likely to knock it.

jenniferpa Posted May 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2007 Don't take this the wrong way, but do you think perhaps you should get out more? Now, if was my 21 year old daughter we were talking about.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
