LED Dome Lights Extended Delay Turnoff

Installed LED PCB replacements for second, third row and cargo area dome lights. All function correctly except second row: after closing all doors (locked or unlocked), they remain on for an extended period of time (greater than 5 mins) before going out. When unlocking the doors remotely, they do not come on with the cargo lights. They turn on and off correctly with the doors closed once they have timed out.

Any idea(s) why this only occurs on the second row domes lights?

Thanx in advance.

I don't remember and no longer have the packaging. They came from Auto Zone; will check when I am over there again, maybe this evening. I also ordered some from Super Bright LEDs last weekend. Expect them by the end of the week. They are self-contained inside the festoon bulb housing.

Update to dome light on time: over 30 mins driving and they were still on, so I am not sure of what the time out to cut off is exactly.

i think the good recon ones have built in resistors to mimic incandesent bulbs

So you think this is a similar problem like the turn signals where there is insufficient resistive load on the system/circuit? If so, why would it only affect these two lights and not the cargo lights also?

I will be getting the 921/922 bulbs from Super Bright this week, so it will be interesting to see if the forward overhead console dome lights will have similar issues.
