Hi All, I have a 2000 SSEi. All interior lights stay on under any condition, while battery is hooked up. They'll stay on untill the battery saver kicks in after 10 minutes. Push fob lock. . their still on, start motor.. . . still on, turn inst cluster dimmer all the way CC. . .still on.

I've pulled all 4 door panels and manually jumped door ajar and door closed switchs. . .still on.

No matter what I do, the RIM still commands the under rear seat interior light relay to turn interior lights on. (Yes I've swapped relays)

All bcm's are talking, busses are good, all bcm's are scannable and have No codes.

I now have the seats out and carpet up, several gallons of water in pass footwells. I've pulled both floor harnesses out from runways and can find no apperant wire damage. Checked B piller wires also.

I'm ready to burn the car down and walk away.

Has anyone ever seen this problem? What am I missing?

If not, try disconnecting that switch to see if things change.
