....the round switches don't turn em off either. Now this can't be right can it? They appear to turn themselves off once the car is locked but not immediately. If it was a door slightly open wouldn't the dash tell me so?

Did you try the dimmer switch by the headlight switch? turn it down past the click. This happened to me when I installed the switch for the Fog lights, and I accidentaly rolled it up to far.

LOL! Don't! I had this exact same problem, and felt like the biggest tool when I figured it out. I was outside opening and closing doors, pushing buttons for like 15-20 min. before I figured it out. My neighbor probably thinks I'm an idiot.

Luckily if you leave the courtesy lights on they will will shut themselves off in a few minutes so no dead battery. THAT'S a cool feature.

Peons such as I without the Premium interior upgrade have a little orange gas pump show up at the bottom of the speedo.
