Best Answer

There is normally a switch near the light (or sometimes on the dash) that sets the light to:

Always on

Always off

On when the door is open, off when it's shut.

If that switch is in the correct position, it's going to either be the switch in the door pilar that is jammed in the on position, or a short somewhere in the miles of cable that make up the wiring loom.

Why would a 1996 Concorde interior lights come on as soon as the car is shut off?

I am not too familiar with the 1996 Concorde, but most of the newer vehicles turn on the interior lighting when the ignition is turned off. This is to allow you to see inside the car before exiting without having to turn any lights on. They should turn off after about 40-50 seconds, or when the doors are locked and the alarm is activated.

I have a 1994 Taurus SHO the interior lights dont come on until i turn the key when i turn the car off they work normally if i leave and come back in an hour they dont work until i turn the again?

This is because when you turn the key it starts lights, radio, engine, etc. After you turn the car off it still needs a few minutes to turn off as the battery isn't extremely fast. When you come back in a hour it most definitely should have turned off or your car has a problem or you forgot to put your light on automatic. EDIT: no the lights go off normally a couple seconds after i get out, lock the car, and shut the door. but when i come back after an hour or more, the interior lights do not come on until i unlock it, get it, and turn on the ignition
