I turn the van off and the running lights stay on. Sometimes if I wait 5 minutes to lock it, they will turn off during the locking process, other times it doesn't work and they stay on for hours and my battery goes down. Any idea what it could be? I want to take it in to get it fixed, but I'm not sure what kind of repair place I need.

Hello,

This sounds like you have a BCM that is going out which controls the running lights. You will need to reprogram the new unit in have a shop do it.

Here is the BCM location (below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
