Default When turning off the car

I got a question. Im not sure or my mind is playing tricks on me, but i can remember thst when i turn off my car the interior lights will come on. Or maybe that is with my other car?
Well thing is i changed some lights for led first was the interior ones then became obsessed with it and it came the trunk the licence plates and last the engine compartment.
Last night (coule of days after installation) after parking the car i noticed that interior lights wont turn on after i turn the ignition off, it will only turn on after doors are opened. Now all of this said want to make sure if this is the case with ur cars as well, or there is something wrong that i did while chaging to those LED maybe some part of the circuit or one of the Led is not responding. (All of them light up) Just lazy to do one by one and see if it was the lightning or just my memory is off

Are you sure the light fixtures are in the right position? The middle position makes the lights come on when the power is off, left makes them not turn on, and right turns on all the time, IIRC.

Your post made me think, so I went out and did a sanity check. My dome lights did not turn on until the ignition was off and the door was opened.

  • One position turns the lights on and then off as needed
  • One keeps them off all the time
  • One runs your battery down overnight and requires that your car get a jump in the morning.

Yes, i ran an errand, pulled into the garage, switched ignition off (dome lights still off), pulled the key, and opened the door (dome lights turned ON). Then shut the door, then locked with immobilizer (dome lights turned OFF).
