Interior Headliner's lights not turning off when I leave the car

[G-max]

When the interior lights are set to the automatic on and off mode (i.e. off when the doors are closed etc), I found my lights not turning off when I close the doors to my car. But when I turn on the ignition, it would turn off.

Any clue what's wrong?

Your timer relay might be stuck.

Thanks for the advice.

Not sure what happened, but it just started to work again....

STRANGE.

not strange, sticky switch or loose connection

Those timers are prone to doing some wacked out shit once in awhile. It rain a lot recently? Power door locks working OK?
