HHR interior lights what gives?? map lights wont shut off (Page 1/1)

Ok I've search HHR forums nothing the question just dies off.

I've hit the switches and tried the dimmer switch nothing... even fused with the tabs on all 4 door jams. Granted lights turn off after 20 min, but not good on battery so I yanked the fuse. I'm lost WTH is going on here/?

Can you explain exactly what is happening? When do the lights stay on? (I have an HHR, I can check how mine works).

It's normal for the lights to say on for a short time (a few minutes) but the MAP lights are probably being run off of the RAP relay which is why they're off after 20 minutes. I'd suspect a door isn't registering as being closed. You'd have to look at a scan tool to see if it can detect all the doors are closed.

On my old HHR SS (2007), those lights were not map lights but rather how GM elected to illuminate the a/c controls under them on the dash. If you look you will see there are no other ambient light sources there...

Probably needs the BCM reflashed. Sounds like a logic function for the battery rundown protection circuit was erased/corrupted and isn't set any longer. The lights should shut off after 20 seconds.

Also the door jam switches can cause this issue if one fails.
