Thanks. I hadn't realized until I saw your post. Had to go check it out.

Someone made the cover and an article in the Rock Auto digital news letter. Nicely done🙂

This isn’t directed at the light issue directly but from what I have found in the past, the carpet may feel dry on top but it may be soaked underneath. I found this on my own car, even after sitting in storage indoors for months. It almost seems the carpet and pad combination work like Gortex in reverse, moisture in, but not out.

Thanks @Ronnie! I will check into that.

I'd guess the problem is with the wire splices under the carpet. The reason it happens with the interior lights is because the light socket is hot all the time. Even when the key is off. What makes the interior lights come on is them getting a ground from the BCM. The ground wires run under the carpet where there are a lot of metal splices that rust when exposed to moisture. Take a look at this how-to guide and you will see what might be going on with your car. Wire Splice Repair

I would think there must be some perfect O.E. wheels out there? A lot of them have been removed and replaced with something else and maybe the stockers were saved in the attic? The cost to refinish from the few stories I have seen are generally in the hundreds of dollars so those dollars might be spent on actual replacements? Of course shipping for something large and heavy like that sort of discourages unless close at hand.

Yes please state exactly what happens when turn key from OFF to RUN - hear fuel pump - get pressure on fuel rail when you turn the key to START - dashboard blanks - warning on dash - nothing. Same if in park or neutral. Wiggling the shifter has no effect. - hear clicks - engine cranks but does not start
