This is happening on a 2002 Continental
I can't shut off the interior lights at night after pulling the key out of the ignition. They come on and stay on. If I turn them off on the light module they just come back on again. It only seems to happen at night (I think). Tonight, I got out of the car and as soon as I locked it with the remote the lights came on. (I have a battery charger on it now). In trying different combinations I found that by hitting the keypad 7-8 / 9-0 keys (the combo for locking the doors) the interior lights went out however after about 10 minutes they have come back on again .... this is so weird.
BTW ... when the car is running the interior lights go out as per normal. It's just when it's stopped and the key is removed from the ignition. This has just started happening out of the blue. Was working fine for the last 2 months (I bought the car in December). No reports of this problem from past service records.
Has anyone got any insight into what this problem might be?
