The issue may be caused by an electrical fault, likely related to a bad ground or faulty wiring. In similar cases, problems with the Central Electronic Module (CEM) or its connectors can cause unusual behavior with interior lights and the dashboard. It’s possible the car is misinterpreting the door open signal or the interior light circuit is interfering with other systems. Checking and reseating the CEM connectors and inspecting grounding points may help identify the cause.
