Check to make sure that the light switches in the doors are working properly. Also, check to see that the dash light dimmer is not stuck on high, as this setting will cause the light to stick on.

∙ 16y agoThis may, or may not help, as my Sunfire is a few years older than yours. My dashboard light dimmer switch has a built in dome light switch. When turned past maximum bright, it turns the dome light on. FriPilot

∙ 14y agoIf they stay on for a few minutes before turning off, it is a safety feature that many newer model vehicles have. It's to give you light for a few moments in order to get from your car to your doorstep (assuming it's dark). Usually, if you turn off the lights before turning off the engine, the lights will turn off immediately, and if you turn off the engine before turning off the lights, they will stay on to light your way for a few minutes. If your headlights are not turning off at all, your problem is probably either a faulty headlight switch, or a faulty headlight relay.

What would cause headlights on a Honda Odyssey to stay on even after the engine is turned off?
Headlights might stay on in a Honda Odyssey after the engine is turned off because of a courtesy timer. The headlights will stay on for a few seconds after exiting the vehicle so the driver can go into a building at night safely. If the headlights are staying on all the time, check the timer for this feature.
