First, it would appear dome light switch is ok, it does not control footwell lights,
only the dome light. Presumably map lights are ok and manually turn on/off.
When driver's door is opened lights should come on and go off either 12 sec after door closing or
when ignition key is turned to on position.
Do you get headlights-on and key-in warnings?
Do lights go on/off when each door is opened and closed (ignition off)? when ignition is on?
Several components involved; door jam switches/relay/key-in switch as well as timer module,
too early in diagnosis to jump to latter being the problem.
Yes, dome light switch and map light switches are okay. The headlights on and key-in warning works
when engine is off. Lights go on and off when doors are opened/closed when engine is off. Not when
engine is running. The timer works when engine is off. As long as I let the lights extiguish before starting
the engine, they'll go out. If I start the engine or turn ignition to on position before they extinguish,
they'll stay on until I shut off the engine or turn ignition off. The lights seem to only work on the 12 second
delay. There doesn't seem to be any "instant off" when the doors are closed.
