The centre console lights stay on when Ilock my van up at night.This has happened three times now and consequently the battery is flat.

Ive booked it in to my local dealer next Wednesday,but I’ll have to check it every night before then. Has anyone else had the same issue?

    I had a similar issue, and I found it was to do with a combination of damage inside the front most set of switches, and the switches in the next set of lights back, if that makes sense - basically, the front switch had broken partly, and if the switch was put to turn on with the doors, they stayed on when the van (or in our case, Tourneo) was locked.

    Once I glued it back together so the copper strips weren't moving about, it fixed the issues.
