^^ Agreed. Not to mention all the posts in the wrong forums.

I will say one last thing. Have you taken it to the dealer? You have a 2015, so unless you've driven way over the national average mileage, you should still have a warranty. Also, I'll bet there's nothing wrong with the way they're operating.

That's not how this works.

You never answered my question about warranty. You just replied with some comment about fruit.

A relay (basically) switches a power source from off to on. It doesn't "regulate" voltage. Do yourself a favor and take it in.

Are you saying that the foot well lights stay on even when the engine is turned off and with the doors closed? The foot well lights are supposed to stay on when you are driving, and they are supposed to turn on when the doors are opened. If that is what is happening with your car, it is normal operation. If, on the other hand, they don't turn off and stay off after about 30 seconds after the engine is shut down and with the car's doors closed, that is not normal, and, as others have suggested, you should have the dealer check out the car to see why that is happening.

What alarm are you talking about? Do you have an aftermarket alarm system? If you do, that could be the cause of your problem.
