My '98 has footwell lights which are on a timer. The owner's manual says that the rocker switch on the overhead console has three positions. To the right - 12 sec timer. Middle - off. Left - on. On my car it's to the right - dome and footwell lights on timer, middle - footwell lights on timer (no dome) and left - dome on all the time. I've also got those swively reading lights to either side of the dome. So, right off the bat, the lights aren't working like the manual says they should AFAIK. The other problem is that I can't turn the timer off. I have to wait for the lights to go out before I can start the engine or they'll stay on until I shut the engine off! This also means I can't start the engine without all the doors being closed. Ordinarily I'd say the timer is stuck but it does shut the lights off - unless I start the engine. If I open the doors after the engine is running, the lights don't come on at all. Is this a problem or a feature?
