Default Dome Light Timer

Hello all,
Is there a separate relay timer for the dome lights? Mine are stuck on all of the time unless I manually switch the dome units off. Doors activate under dash lights fine but will not turn domes off. Locking car won't turn them off either.

Thanks,
AJG617

Yup, windows remain active until any door is opened.

Windows, reading light control module, footwell lights, door lamps ....

That's what I'm afraid of - is there a procedure for resetting it?

Default Haven't touched the fuse panel...stock car

Interesting though, now that I think about it the radio lights are out as well. Maybe coincidence but I think they time out as the windows should??
