Interior cabin dimmer problem
Hey guys,
Anybody know why or what this could be? When I get in my car the setting on the dome lights is set for the doors. but after I get in and close the doors,the lights don't dim out. I have to manually close the lights?

i believe you have to hit one of the buttons where the map light buttons are near the rearview mirror. the one with that shows the "doors open"? you might have to sit in the car with the doors closed, and hit them each until they dim. this happened to me once which became very frustrating.
sorry, i can't go take a look as i'm not near the car now

I found the culprit
Well after many hours I figured out the problem. The passenger side door switch was broken and pushed in. Causing to make belive the door is always open Hence that is way the lights would not dim and go out automatically
Hope this helps someone in the future with a similar problem
