Help with interior lights questions.

Hi,

My 2 interior lights: central lock and fan speed are always lighted each time I turn the starter key on. Are they supposed to be on at all times? If not, what could be the problem? TIA...

No, the central light may be shorting off the fog light lamp switch.

The fan light will trigger when it is too close to stage I to the right, try placing it to the left a bit more, then it should go off, if not something is wrong.

BTW, pretty ride, is that mustard yellow?

After you find the fault, you may want consider adding a fuse to the gauge light cluster wiring it also powers that vent light.

Okay, thanks I will add this to my long list of things to do. BTW, I'm so paranoid of fire (almost caught fire before), I got 3 fire extinguishers in the car.
