Bad relay
What year and model? Under what conditions? The dash lights are designed to stay on in certain models. Saab 900s from about 1987 on will have dash lights come on any time the ignition switch is in the ON position, whether or not the headlight switch is turned to ON.
you didnt specify year, but its time delayed electronically. Assuming they do eventually turn off, all is well. It's 1995 Cadillac Concours the interior lights, and head lights go out when I cut the car off but the dashboard lights stay on.
I've just noticed mine does the same, where the time and mileage is shown it stays lit
No When You Turn OFF The Car Everything Is Turned Off. The Batteries, Engine, And Everything Is OFF Note: some cars may temporarily illuminate dashboard glow or interior lights when entering or exiting the car, or when the doors are unlocked. They usually only stay lit for a period of 10-60 seconds.
That is correct. On 1987 and later 900s the dashboard lights come on whenever the ignition is switched to ON.
yes, they do
Your emergency lights are on.
If you will notice the hazard lights are not actually flashing, reason being, the hazard flasher relay is defective. Replace it.
Most newer models of cars now have a safety design that allows the headlights to stay on for a few minutes before shutting themselves off to allow the occupants to safely get to a door or gate. Also, on many newer model vehicles, if the lights are turned off before the ignition, the lights will stay off. If the lights are turned off after the ignition, the lights stay on to illuminate your way. If the light switch is off and the lights stay on longer than a few minutes, then something is wrong.
if you leave the parking lights switch "ON" the lights will remain on, even if the car has been turned off.
Both a stuck reverse switch and shorted wiring can be causes for reverse lights to stay on. Under normal circumstances, the reverse lights turn off as soon as the vehicle is shifted out of reverse.
