Interior Lights turn on when turning?

Headline somewhat says it. Problem is, id say about 80% of the time when i hit my turn signal to turn it will turn on my interior lights, and then to turn them off again i have to hit my turn signal again. Like i said, doesnt happen all the time but id say the majority of the time it does. Not to big of a problem just wondering whats going on? Lose wires or whatt? ha Thanks as usual guys!

This is a guess but i would say faulty indicator switch lever.

i'm going with iCarl's suggestion

Sounds like an issue with the multifunction switch (the stick that the turn signals, lights, int. lights, ect. are on) you can pcik up a new one for around 30 buicks.
Replacement is super easy too.

mine does the same except my fog lights go off then come back on when the turn signal returns to off. and sometimes they just randomly go off then come back on erratically... mildly annoying.

actually i need to correct that. it depends on year model, from wholesalemopar.com (about the best prices i've seen on the net for mopar parts) is about 47 for an 03 56 for an 02 37.27 for an 04-05.

Just a thought, but how bright are your dash lights? Are you hitting the turn signal lever on the dimmer control? Could you have your dash lights set bright enough you are accidently hitting the dimmer and turning them on? Only reason I ask is you stated it is about 80% of the time.
A longshot, but may as well check it before spending money.

my wifes 02 has the same light problem but hers just comes on whenever it feels like it. found that by turning the dash light dimmer switch back 1 click it never happens again. must be something bad in the switch but I am too lazy to fix it. $30? hmmm I might have to get unlazy and be done with it.

Had the on on the misses 02 fixed under warantee. Did they recall for those or just a TSB?

Anyway, new one for free here. Common issue on the earlier models.
