Dome lights stuck on

[Sir Dan]

When I got home tonight, my interior dome lights would not turn off. I happened to look out the window and noticed them still on after I had locked it up. I go out and try to shut them off with the switch on the overhead console but no response in any switch position. Start up the truck and notice there is a door ajar....that must be the issue. Shut the right rear door all the way but lights stay on. WTF??? Lock and unlock the truck with fob and switches many times, start truck and drive it around awhile thinking they might just go out but they don't. Very strange!

 

It's hovering around 0 degrees F outside so you can imagine how impressed I am with this $45,000 piece of GM junk right about now. I don't need a dead battery in the morning so with freezing fingers, I took off the negative battery cable and they finally shut off and stayed off. What the hell is going on here? BCM bad, stuck relay, or what?

So strange thing I had the exact opposite thing happen where the interior lights wouldn't go on! I tried the switch, tried starting and driving around, open closing doors, etc. Checked a couple hours later and they worked. Hasn't done it since, not surprised with all the electronics it has.

Since this happened, I find myself always looking out to make sure the lights have turned off. I can no longer trust that they will shut off every time.

OM problem could have resulted from the auto shutoff feature. Wife left the door open for about 20 mins. after unloading and the dome lights were off even though the console switch was in the correct on with door open position. Closed then opened the doors but they wouldn't turn on. After all doors closed for about 15 mins. the normal dome light function returned.

I thought about the auto shut off thing too. The owners manual calls it "Battery Rundown Protection" and states that it is designed to shut the dome lights off after 10 mins and the cargo lamp off after 20 mins. Mine must be programmed backwards since it leaves the lights on and disables any further attempt to shut them off.
