Turn headlights on, all interior lights= GONE - Corvette Forum

Before he purchases any parts, someone please suggest he try turning the dimmer switch in a clockwise direction.


GB may recall how I know of this trick.

I had someone PM me a while ago who had just bought his vette. His problem was the interior lighting was staying on after he turned the car off. Most notably the HVAC controls. For two weeks he had been disconnecting the battery whenever he parked the car for more than a few minutes.

I suggested he wait a little longer and see if the lights go out.....
