Strange happenings

Went to close the shutters on the front door last night and saw one rear interior light was on. Haven't used the car since Friday, no idea how long it had been on. Never noticed before that there is a switch on the light, think it must be dodgy, took several attempts to turn the thing off. Need to get the fitting out today and disable the switch methinks.
Car is dry as a bone inside so it's not a damp problem.

Hi,
I too had that problem, took 4/5 presses of the button to turn of light, removed light fitting from car sprayed elec cleaner into said button whilst pressing button on and off left to dry, refitted light and now all good.

Just done something similar, have to wait and see if it comes back on again.

Had the battery held out?

Yep, battery fine, burst into life as soon as I turned the key when the glows had gone out

Not surprised with the battery we have fitted, had to give mine a bit of a top up today though, 9 weeks of multiple starts and short journeys took its toll.
