2008 CTS interior lights wont turn off

Hello. All of my interior lights will not turn off while I'm driving,and when I leave and Lock the car they won't turn off until the 10 min timer turns them off. The dimmer dial works and is not locked on the ON setting. When I turn the car off, and open the driver door the radio turns off, however if I open the Passenger door the radio stays on. Is there a switch located on the Passenger door that could be causing this? Thanks

I have an issue very similar happening with my car. It's a 2012 CTS4. The interior lights will not go off, and will stay on for hours on end. The dimmer switch is not in the on position and it continues to happen all of a sudden on a daily basis. I took it in to a dealership, and they are wanting to charge me all kinds of money to put it on a diagnostics tester to find out what the issue is, and then the parts are so expensive. If this is just a simple basic thing to fix, and anyone has any helps for this.... please let me know. Also, when I lock the doors with the fob, and I press the lock button twice, it's no longer beeping. Just curious as to whether or not these 2 things could be related. Thanks!
Did you ever find out the issue while your lights were staying on?

The person you are quoting was on these boards for one day 7 years ago and has not been active since, so a response is unlikely.
What issue are you experiencing?
Literally the same issue he posted My Interior lights won't go off all the sudden 2009 cts 4 I was wondering if maybe he had happened to fix it since it's been so long lol
It does have a sun roof and it has 3 buttons by the sun roof that I don't know what they go to I'm assuming a garage door opener
I'm not hearing the 2nd beep anymore when I lock the car so it's kind of making me feel like it could be the body control module
My first suspect is the driver's door lock actuator. If it has failed or is failing (i.e. intermittent) the BCM may not get the signal that your door is shut and it doesn't turn off the radio or interior lights. It's pretty common on these vehicles.
My radio goes off like it should its just the map light that stay on
