I have a 2007 Suburban Z71 that I just purchased. Today while driving the dome/interior light came on and now it won't go off. It stays on when I am driving or parked with vehicle locked. The dome light over-ride button won't turn them off. If I turn the dimmer **** all the way to the right it turn on the other interior lights in the vehicle, otherwise it does nothing. I don't think it's a door pin issue because the DIC doesn't show a door open unless I physically open a door. I have disconnected the battery to see if it would reset anything but no luck. Anybody got any ideas????

Well, here's an update. I found that there are two fuses that control the interior lighting. One is for the dome lights that come on when you open the door. The other is for the "map" or courtsey lights that you push the button to turn on. I removed the fuse for the "map/courtsey" light fuse and now the lights dim out when I close the door and come on when I open the door as they should. The issue I have now is since I removed the map/courtsey light fuse they don't turn on when the button is pushed, of course. This leads me to believe it is not a door/dome light issue but an issue with the map/courtsey lights coming on and staying on. Any ideas? Will someone post something so I don't feel like I'm talking to my self here????

That about sums it up. Could be a bad switch that failed closed.

ok you just have to give it some time for more responses since it has only been a few hours since you first posted the question
now it really looks like a bad switch, which one I don't know but wait a minute you just got the truck, the question is did the previous owner do some mods on it? aftermarket radio? amp? alarm system? how long since you got it? is the previous owner still around? I'm sure there's a trick to it but not a word about it at time of sale
now did you search for info and found nothing?
I posted a question too and it took several days for a reply
after all you can live with out those lights for many months (I barely use them) so what's the big deal?
so in conclusion tell us all the story about it, this is a forum, not the magic mirror or a crystal ball!!!

I think his problem is that the lites won't go out.

Lights are BCM controlled. Might try a reboot, disconnect the battery for several minutes ..

I'm not a dummy....I am frustrated and looking for a little help. I appologize if I sounded like this was a "magic mirror or crystal ball" but I belong to a forum for my Harley and am use to getting some quick help. I thought there might be some here and there does appear to be some post here with stuff I can try like froom in2pro. Now, knowing "the story" are you able to provide any intelligent help or did you just post up to tell me that I didn't provide enough info and that I need to be patient?????? Are you a keyboard comando???

My experience on lots of different forums has been that when someone comes on the first time and is critical cuz no one provided any answers within 24 hours usually gets flamed. Can't speak to the Harley forum. Sorry we didn't meet ur expectations.

Since this is the first time I've heard of this problem w/ the NBS, wasn't surprised that there wasn't much response. BTW, did you search the forum?
