##@&%! keyhole light staying on all the time again!
My car does this from time to time...the damned keyhole light stays on and ends up running down the battery eventually, since I rarely drive the car.
I have no idea why...it goes through cycles like this.
Annoying.

Always Bad Advice
If it is intermittent you probably have a wire shorting to ground somewhere on the ground side of the bulb wiring. The bulb is directly attached to battery power without a switch in between, the bulb lights when the wire is on the other side is shorted to ground. Attached is the wiring diagram showing the door key illumination circuit. You're going to have to carefully look a the wires between the bulb and CPU pin 113 for worn spots that could possibly ground to the chassis.

Looking at the schematic above, I'd say that the Body CPU (#2) is suspect. The wiring from the battery to the door key/ignition switch lights is straight forward. The path to ground runs thru CPU #2 on J4-01 pin 1S is the most probable cause.
