Courtesy Lights staying on

Post by thejrh »

I have 99 V70 XC AWD and the courtesy lights will not go out. I went to the grocery last night and all was well. When I got into the car to drive home I realized the courtesy lights had stayed on and would not go out. After a few go's of trying to trigger the lights to dim (locking, unlocking etc etc) I pulled the #15 fuse to kill the lights. I could live with this fuse pulled, except for the fact that the door warning beeping is on constantly.

Suggestions?

Either one of your doors/ tailgate isn't closed or your master door lock ( driver door) is broken. Try locking it with the key

The light take a couple minutes to go out on my 99, btw

Have you double checked the mode switch in the overhead console?
