The length of time the interior lamps remain illuminated is controlled by the BCU. I don't believe you can adjust it.
From the RAVE Electrical Library, Interior Lamps section - "The Body Control Unit (BCU) is programmed to operate the interior lamps and the ignition illumination for a predetermined period after a door has been opened or an unlock request is made with the handset."
That said, I just checked how long the interior lights stay on in my truck. I opened the door, sat in the driver's seat and closed the door. The interior lights started to dim at about 15 secs. after I closed the door and were out fully by about 18 seconds.

Thanks for the feed back!! So I download the rave manual and yes I saw that the Bcu seems to control the light. So it looks like the door open is supposed to last 10min. All the other times are fine on my disco. So do I assume I have replace the bcu to get those 10 min? What scanner can reads the bcu?
thanks
thanks

Where did you find the reference to 10 minutes, please? That seems like an insanely long period of time. Before replacing the BCU to get the lights to stay on longer I'd just buy a flashlight.

The Hawkeye and the Nanocom can change BCU settings, but as Juke said there is no BCU setting to change the length of time the interior lights stay on.

@scout13 … Since having a Disco 2, I am confident you have other pertinent maintenance items that can be accomplished rather than spending valuable time hunting down a interior light timer fault. lol
