I just bought a 95 olds cultas cierra about a month ago. My battery went totally dead, so I replaced it. I then noticed that one of the map lights stays on all the time, so it it what is draining my battery. If I take out the lightbulb, will the light still run power off of my battery? I'm also having problems getting to the bulb. Should I unscrew the lightbulb or cut the wires in order to save the battery?
Thanks so much fo your help!

Taking out the bulb will most likely fix the problem. Without the bulb the circuit is not complete and no current flows. Give it a try and see what happens, it's definitely the cheapest and simplest potential fix!
