Interior light does not stay on for a few seconds after I close a door

Interior light used to stay on for a few seconds after I close a door. Does not anymore. What to check?

That is controlled by the GM. Maybe you once reset the GM and test.
All general modules must be plugged in only after disconnecting the vehicle's battery. If the vehicle's battery is connected when the GM is installed, undefined signal contacts can cause an incorrect vehicle configuration to be stored, resulting in the impairment of one or more of the above-mentioned systems. If one or more of the GM functions are impaired in this matter, the GM can be "cleared" by disconnecting the vehicle's battery for at least ten seconds.

The switch-off delay of the interior lights which occurs after entering the vehicle and closing the driver's door has been reduced from 20 seconds to 15 seconds on the newer GM from 09/1991.

Thanks, My battery ran down as I think interior light (switch in wrong position) was on all evening. had to jump start the car. Perhaps tha caused me to notice the prolem. I think I will diconnect the battery tommorrow and see if that resets the interior lights.
