: the contact stated the interior light in the cab of the vehicle remained illuminated. One end of the bulb was disconnected to save the battery. Also, the interior locks worked erratically. Sometimes the locks locked immediately after the vehicle has been started and other times it could be 15 minutes or longer before it would lock. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer nor the manufacturer was not alerted.
