    When I shut car down and open doors all interior lights go on shut the door and front interior lights go off in about 30 seconds but rears stay on
    They go off about 10-15 minutes later
    Doesn’t seem correct?
    Is it ???

    The rear personal lights have switches right next to the lights. You likely have the switches turned on. Try turning them off. They'll still be subject to the door lights control IIRC.

    Change the rear lights to "door" setting on the switch.

    thanks the problem was that one button was pushed on so lights would stay on
    After 10 minutes or so they’d go off when car was shut down
    Car used in daytime mostly and hadn’t seen them on apparently
    Thanks again
