Some cars have as luxury option it gives you some time to get out of the car and see the road (if it's dark around).
PS: If lights stay for couple minutes and go off it means that it's suppose to be like that. If it does not go off at all you need to check computer codes.
The dash board light dimmer control switch may be turned off or broken.
i need help with my car
I had this same problem with my !995 Galant. It turned out to be the alternator.
Break lights come on when you step on the break, they do not come on when the head lights are turned on.
yes they should.
Cab lights. Wrong.... Marker lights
You may have a burnt out bulb that is causing your tail lights and dash board lights to not come on in your 1992 Bonneville. It can also be a blown fuse that is causing your problem.
Check all your grounds. Battery to block and your headlight sockets.
Could be the dash light switch is turned off.
And 'appen the brake lights come on when you switch on the side lights? Someone has swopped the wiring over... or forced the bulbs into the sockets the wrong way 'round!
In the back should be tail lights which always come on when the headlights or parking lights are on, and stoplights which come on whenever the brakes are pressed. The stoplights should be brighter than the tail lights, but they should be separate.
Will your lights headlights come on? Will anything work? Had something like that happen to me years ago. I had no lights and nothing worked. Turned out it was an alternator. There could be something else that would be wrong but, it would be something to check out.
