Default HELP: gauge cluster lights won't turn off

My lower gauge cluster lights (mileage, time, mph) won't turn off even with the keys out of the ignition and all the lights off. I double checked everything twice to make sure I didn't leave anything on. My preliminary research indicates that it may be a faulty door switch. What do you guys think?

Probably the ignition switch.

Ya they will turn off after you lock the car and wait a bit.

They all do this I think!

This is normal, unless they never go off. There is a several minute delay once a door is open or shut before they go off. Even if you lock the door.

i took it to the dealer for a different issue and asked them to look at that. They were going to check a door switch ? But they didn’t have time and wanted the car back 😅
