Any one have the problem with their interior lights not turning off?

Hey guys I got my 92 Rs And have been working on it diligently to finally try to get the interior finished etc and miscellaneous stuff. Well yesterday, I went outside to take a ride in 'er ;-) and the car battery was dead. I was like hmm that was odd. So i charged her up and about 30 minutes later I was on my way. I came home last night and saw that after I left my car and went inside, The interior light was on. It was really weird and it almost seems like one of the doors or trunk are open? I opened them all and then shut them again and it still stayed on. So i disconnected the battery and called it a night. Any ways, Any one have any info they can give me? Im thinking it may be one of the door sensors screwing up but don't know

Sorry, have to ask: did you inadvertently switch on the interior lights with the head lamp ****?

Re: Any one have the problem with their interior lights not turning off?

LOL, jamesc I was going to say the same thing!!! It could be the switches(Pins) too. Almost all of the wiring in these cars for the interior lighting is white(ground) and orange(hot/constant) They are switched-negative systems. With the doors and trunk closed, the white wire should show "Dead" (No ground) and the orange wires should always show positive + 12 volts. Pm me if you need more info. Good luck!!
