So. i get home from this trip today. and i notice my dome light and my reading lights staying on.. switched them off. nothing. re-checked all the doors.. nothing.. my buddy decides to check the door trigger switch. and pushes the clasp on the door in. it wont come unlocked. no key, no remote lock will do anything and its not budging an inch. so my door wont close. and now all my lights are on.. alright. so im going to break down and take it to the dealer i say... but first i need to get these lights off so they dont kill my battery all night. pull every single damn fuse in my panel. (cause i dont have a fuse diagram and didnt have time to search for one on here)... not ONE of them turned off my INT lights. so i just yanked all the lights. so im stuck with absolutely no- lighting. and a door that wont close because the clasp is broken in the closed position. have to get the girlfriend to hold it closed while i drive to the GM dealer tomorrow.
how was everyone else's @!#$ty weekend?
You pulled all the fuses from the inside panel, or the one under the hood?
A door jam switch that is shorted to ground will cause your lights staying on all the time.

You could have just removed the battery terminal, I am sure it would of been easier then removing 40 fuses and you only had to remove the fuse that said int.
when it comes to boobs i need a girl with bad grades cause im tired of all the ones walking around with straight a's
yeah.. well. there were no fuses saying Int. to be found. my car has a lot of extra fuses than stock and some are switched out for different amps. im going to go check the door jam again though.
to get your door lock open again, just put a screw driver in there, pull the handle and then open the latch with the screwdriver.
