Some Interior Lights Stay On When Car Locked

About 25 seconds after locking the doors, the following lights turn on:

cupholder lights
light inside the center arm rest
ash tray
rear door window switch lights

They'll stay on all night and never turn off. Any ideas?

car needs to be read. you either have a faulty/ stuck door switch somewhere, or a faulty sam. those will show up on a xentry quick test

Is the rear tailgate locking/closing properly?

My C3 mux is dead so waiting for a C4 to arrive so I can read the errors.

When should be the cupholder lights be on? When driving and the headlights are on?

Yes and the main overhead lights turn off when the tailgate closes.

However, I've got water leak in the rear and it's causing issues. I'm going to replace the rear liftgate module (1648701126), which seems to be the reason the liftgate won't power close anymore.

Would the rear liftgate be involved with the cupholder lights though?
