Default Interior lights staying on, door locks not locking

Hello , hope everyone is well. Presently my 2005 Vue's interior lights are staying on and door locks not locking upon driving. Even with leaving the vehicle the lights remain on until 20 minutes or so until the monitoring system turns off the lights.

Is there a fuse that is preventing the locks to lock as I accelerate, thus shutting off the lights?

There are no door ajar or rear hatch open warning lights on the dash as would normally tell you the problem.

Thanks for reading my mail, take care Roko.

Hey man, if you have the owners manual for that vehicle, look in there. There should be something about programming the door locks. Maybe you could go from there. I'm not a mechanic, but it sounds to me like there's a ground problem somewhere.

Question -- Will the doors lock manually with the switch when you are driving?

You don't suppose the manual light switch for the courtesy light is in the wrong position?

Default interior lights staying on

Thank you for your quick response. While driving , if I hit the door lock , it switchers to unlock by itself. I am wondering if the fuse for something to lock the doors is blown or something like that. Thanks Roko.

So your saying the switchers are switchering when you push the switchers. They switcher to lock and they switcher to unlock. When driving they it switchers to unlock itself. So if the switchers have power to do any type of switchering how could the fuse be bad? Well unless the fuse is switchering from bad to good, and good to bad.
