Ok experts, my son needs your help. He just bought his first truck, a 2001 Silverado 5.3 LT 2WD. We are going through it an fixing some small issues. Well there is one small issue that is driving us crazy! The dome light didn't have a bulb. So when we put one in and the dome light will not go out. The two side markers in the door panels were missing bulbs and when we installed those, the same thing happens. We watched some many youtube videos on this and are not sure what to do next. The map lights do not come on when the doors are open but turn on and off with the switches. We read how the dome light sensors are in the door lock mechanism and did some trouble shooting. When we open each door, the security light blinks. When we close the doors, it stops. We tried each door individually to make sure it there wasn't a stuck switch. So it's seeing the doors open and close which should turn on the dome lights. It seems like if a switch was stuck closed and caused the light to stay on, them when we shut the door, the security light would blink as it thinks the door is open, but that's not happening. Any ideas? We are stumped. 8-( Thanks! Give me the old pins style door switch any day.

Howdy folks, I have a 2015 Silverado 1500 LTZ that has an issue I have never seen. I am at 49,000 miles. This last weekend I drove to the airport and was away for 3 days. When I got back from my trip: I unlocked my truck, and as usual, all the courtesy lights come on. I got in and closed the doors, lights stayed on (specifically, the two dome lights by the sunglasses holder, and the two dome lights above the back seating area). Started it up, lights stayed on. Drove 45 miles home, lights stayed on the entire time. Pushing the buttons on the lights did nothing (could not turn them off manually). Parked in my driveway, turned the truck off, lights stayed on. Eventually they turned off (assumedly thanks to the battery rundown avoidance feature) This morning, got up to go to work and experienced the same thing (steps 1-5 above). I have found a number of forum posts from other forum sites regarding this issue, but they are all for older (pre-2014) trucks, and none of them had a solution anyway. I called my Chevy dealer service department and talked with someone there whom I trust and have been working with for 4 years now - he had no idea. Anyone here have any ideas? Fuses I should try and pull, etc? Thanks in advance.
