Spare Tire Light stays on ????

i sounds like its coming from the center cousole. its gotta be something that has power to it when the ignition switch is off, unless there is a short circuit. ill have to do a paracitic current drain test to figure out whats going on.

this could possibly be the rear window defogger, or the anti-theft relay. Doing the current draw test you mentioned should find whatever it is. Good luck,let us know what you find.

Was home for the weekend and got to mess around with the car. I put in the new timer circuit but lights still didnt go off so I sent the new one back to Eckler's and I'm just gonna leave the lights out on that circuit. I checked for an open circuit and found nothing, cause of the battery drain was my lazy brother not keeping a charge on the battery and from not being driven too. My parents dont drive the car, it just sits there and gets an ocasional start-up from time to time, it drives me nutz. I ended up replacing the master cylinder and found the front passenger caliper to be leaking too. I'm looking to sell the car in 1 or 2 years and get a 1997 or up C5, I cant wait!

Hey Zack, did you check to see that your headlight pull switch WAS NOT rotated completely counter clockwise-which holds the interior lights in the "on" position? (wait, is that fully clockwise?) Dont remember which way, but one extreme end of the pull knob (twisting) will hold the lights on, regardless of the doors being open or closed. The other extreme end will dull the dash lights to almost zero illumination. There should be a (barely) detectable click that you can feel (not hear) just as this hold is activated....

Check it out !

Naa, thats the first thing I checked the first time it was dead. Its not worth messing around with this interior delay crap for me so it is what it is, if I get ambitious I'll tear into it but its fine for now. Thanks
