Thread: interior lights not turning off

What year? In my 86 there's a delay unit under the steering wheel area with the indicator and hazard light relays I think.

Checked all the switches and that made no difference

Did you check the one on the tailgate?

I threw one of those out of a '86 not that long ago for the same reason. The relay is bright red from memory. I experimented for a while and bridged two terminals to get the door switches to work normally, i.e. no delay on door closing. The relay has some purple wires into it, the door switches run purple/white stripe so not hard to identify. The bridge was fitted with a dash mounted switch so the doors could be left open if needed and stop draining the battery.

No I didnt

I will check that and look for the red relay thing. Thanks.
Its a 92 model Sherwood.

its above the pedals. whip the plastic cover out from above the pedals and you should see a relay labeled "delay unit" or similar. I bet if you pull it out and refit it ... it works normally again. Pulling the battery terminal may reset it ?
