Switch

There is a switch in the row on the RH side of your instrument cluster. It looks like a half circle with rays shining out.

It gets most everyone. I'm not sure why the switch on the dash exists.

I discovered that nuisance when I was cleaning the dash once. Never forgot after that.

Hi Gregory W.

I am having the same problem with the rearview mirror lights staying on as of a week now after getting my XLR out of the Cadillac Service center for a different problem. The switch that dennis93coupe mentioned did not work for me. It only turns off the floor lights. Is there anything else that we can try before I have to take it back to the dealership?

Thanks!

There are individual switches under the mirror to turn on or off the lights. Try pushing on one of the buttons, close the door and see what happens.

Rearview mirror map lights won't go off.

I turned on the drivers side button under the rearview mirror and got out of the car and closed the door. Both lights are still on.

Wait at least 30 seconds after closing the door. I remember I had the same problem, The buttons should be out. I think pushing the little lamp indicator on the dash also controls them.. Not sure and car isn't home.

I watched it for 5 minutes and they never went out.

The push button on the dash should control the map lights not just the floor lights. If the button on the mirror is not off then the dash button will do nothing. Both must be in the off condition and the doors shut. Maybe they were not both off at the same time? Have you tried re-closing both doors?

I see forum members are trying to assist you and Phrede recently offered insight to your situation as well. I researched this concern in the owners manual, and was unable to find any further information then what was already provided from other forum members regarding the on/off settings and other recommendations.

mirror Reading lights

I'm having the very same problem on my 2005 XLR! They always went off w/the door. Now w/only 30,000 miles the mirror lights work with the buttons on the mirror only! They won't go on or off with the door!The button on the dash will only turn the floor lights on/off. The floor lights do go on at opening the door, and then go off when the door is closed, but not those darn reading lights on the mirror! A lot of us it seems, are experiencing this; what is the problem??? Cadillac said it must be an electrical problem! DUH!!! Take it to them, and bring your jar of vasoline, a condum and lots of $$$$$$$!!!
