Default 996 electrical issue. Interior lights won’t turn off

2003 911 turbo has interior lights on and they won’t turn off. Lights are on door panels and roof console. I pull fuse to turn them off. I’m thinking there is a relay but I have can’t find info on which one or how to locate it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks. I’m not familiar with this and couldn’t find a 996 forum. I’ll try again.

Sounds like a faulty ignition switch

I have a 2003 Turbo too. I noticed an interesting difference when letting the car idle 2 minutes in my garage to cool turbos before shutting it off.
If I shut off the engine and then get out and close the door, the lights go off in ~30 secs.
If I get out and close door before shutting off the engine, then reach in through the open window to shut it off, the lights don't go off, even after an hour.
I've tried it both ways several times recently and it consistently behaves this way. It's as if the delayed lights shut-off is only programmed to work in a certain sequence (engine off, open and close door, lights off in 30 secs) or can't be activated by doors while the engine is running. I don't know if this is related to your issue. I assume you have the roof light-switch in the correct position and not the always-on position.
