They weren't quite sure. They said it looked like someone was messing around with the wires, maybe to find a power source for an aftermarket accessory. They said the wires weren't properly replaced. The only thing I could think of was there could have been an aftermarket DVD player there at some point.

la perrona,

Did you happen to take your vehicle into the dealership to confirm if it was the BCM?

Thank you
Elizabeth, Chevrolet Customer Service

you know I don't use the interior lights that much, I turn them on manually if I'm looking for something at night, so when I saw the op fricking out about his problem and complaining about the free service we get on here I just couldn't believe it, but I'm glad to see that someone is thinking inside the fuse box and be ok with it
by the way looks like you have a nice truck but paying $4.60 a gal of gas!!! where are you located at? so that I know I will not move there.
saludos

Default chevy dome light stays on

If the dash light dimmer is all the way on (at its brightest ), the dome & interior lights stay on.

Sounds like it's just the push switch for that particular light. The override only turns off the lights when a door is opened.

Default Check the relay

Check the relay QUOTE=Joe477;181995]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????[/QUOTE]
