Interior lights staying on
When I got into my jeep this morning the interior lights came on like normal. But when I started it up the rear cargo light and the front mirror map lights stayed on. They would not go off even when turning the jeep off and making sure all doors were closed.
- I double checked the dimmer switch on the steering wheel stalk to make sure it was not in the on position.
- I disconnected the positive battery feed and when connecting it back they came right back on.
- I removed the fuse and when I put it back in they came right back on.
Any ideas of specific things to check? Specific wires, switches, etc.
FYI...I was in it a lot with the doors open while installed JK pockets and bartact seat covers last night so the lights were on and would turn themselves off after a while and from time to time I would close the doors and re-open them for light or hit the key fob. But they worked just like their supposed to.
For now, I pulled the fuse in an effort to not drain my battery while at work. Any ideas?
Just a thought, is there anything within the door panel that could have been damaged when pulling the cargo nets tight to cut and remove them for the JK pockets install?

Just to confirm an idea...If it is a bad switch at a door, could I disconnect a door at a time (like would do when removing doors) and see if it goes away at any particular door?
How could I check the rear door?

Another possibility I guess...I replaced my interior dome lights a long time ago with canbus LED bulbs. I wonder if one of them has gone bad (canbus/resistor on the bulb; not the light itself). I guess I could find my OEM bulbs, slap them in, and see what happens.
