Default Rear courtesy laps stay on

My rear courtesy lamps stay on for about 40 minutes. I see in the manual that is part of the battery saver.

Now I admit that I may have caused this but cannot fathom how.
I recently pulled the roof liner out and recovered it.
More of a job than I expected due to the curves in the liner and getting the material into al of those was fun, not.

The roof liner has a bunch of wires for each of the lights, and ultrasonic SRS sensors.

I believe and checked and it appears that all plugs are plugged back in.
All other lights work fine, the front map and courtesy lights work as expected and go out when the car locks. The rear map lights work and come on when door opens and go off when it closes. Just the courtesy lights stay on for an extended period.

So, anyone have any experience in the read body computer r the associated wiring?
Does the front courtesy switch also drive the rear lights? I seem to have forgotten.

Thanks for any hints.

Default Solved

Well, turns out it was my re-assembly of the rear passenger lights.
Turns out there is a left and right and while they fit teh function is reversed so that the courtesy is the map light and the map light is the courtesy.

Anyway, all works when on the correct sides and the LED bulbs look cool.
