Angry Courtesy lights won't go off

Okey I get in my car and realize the lights aren't turning off when I shut the door.. it was a bad rainy day out the other day so I think maybe that caused it.. who knows.. well I know the courtesy lights go off after 10 minutes but while im driving it is very annoying having them on.. ive went around and shut all doors/hatch and still that damn light goes on.. also when I push the lock button on my remote it only makes one beep and it used to make two.. does anyone know whats goin on?

I know it may sound stupid, but...you don't have the dimmer switch pushed all the way up to click the interior lights on, do you?

The interior dimmer switch may be one of your problems. However, if the horn only honks once when you lock it. It is an indication a door or the hatch isn't fully closed. Lock the car, then try to open each door. Pull up on the hatch, enough to raise the back end slightly. Onced you have confirmed all the doors are closed, unlock the car then lock it. The car should honk the horn twice and the courtesy lights should go out. If they don't, you're door closed switches may be out of adjustment or bad.

I had this problem before too but on my LT1. It ended up being a ground in the hatch area by the hatch lock that caused my problem. I popped the hatched, cleaned the grounded and re-grounded the wire and it never came back...even after a year. You may want to check there also.

Thanks,
Claude

When mine was doing this it was because the rear hatch wasn't closed to the second click. The car is really air tight and in the cold weather with the seals stiff I really had to slam it to get it to latch all the way.
