Try performing a battery reset. Disconnect both battery terminals from the battery. Using a jumper wire connect the two terminals for 15-60 minutes. This will drain the capacitors and memories from all control units. Then reconnect and try again. Is the alarm system functioning properly?? I think the alarm control unit controls the interior light functions on the 996. Does everything else seem to be operating normally?
