make sure your light dimmer on your dash somewhere isn't all the way up because that can keep all lights on at all times on some cars.
Either the light switch is set to have the interior lights on or one of your doors is not closing properly (or at least the sensor thinks it isn't closed).
Why do interior lights stay on when engine is shut off on 2001 Lincoln Continental car?
Lights/radio/etc. left on, door not properly closed or faulty door switch (leaving interior lights on), an alternator or starter leaking current. And probably a bad start of the day.
First verify that you do not have the interior lights switched on using the panel (instrument illumination) dimmer switch. Verify that door switches are working normally and doors are closed. Then, if all of that is well and you do not have any damaged wiring, replace the BCM. Also, you could pull the fuse out, but then you wouldn't have any interior lights. Ditto if you pull the bulb out.
Interior lights often stay on after the door is closed because of a faulty relay. There could also be a broken wire or a short circuit.
I believe if you turn your gauge panel dimmer switch all the way it turns on the interior lights when all the doors are closed
There is a possibility that your door is not closed properly. The hinges are prone to go bad, and your door will not close properly hence a battery drain by the interior lights. You could also have a bad battery
The dimmer switch when turned just past high, turns on the interior lights. There are switches in the door opening that turns the lights off when the door is closed. Either one of these can cause the lights to stay on if they fail.
Just to the right of your headlight switch is a dimmer wheel for your gauge lighting If the dimmer wheel has been rotated all the way up , your interior courtesy lights will stay on ( even with your doors closed ) If your interior lights are on with a door ajar indicator light on in your gauge cluster , either a door ,your liftgate , or your liftgate glass is not closed or you have a sticking door ajar switch (Helpfull)
How's your battery, is the car starting properly. Maybe the battery or alternator.
yes, because your lights run on your car battery
