WHat do you mean the locks lock after a few minutes? If you hit unlock and don't open the door, the locks will re-lock as designed. Is this what you refer to?
All O5s operated trunk and dome lights together, if the dome works, then you simply have a bulb issue, it's that simple. Opening either the trunk or a door will light the trunk AND dome lights.
In later years, the trunk lights operated separately, but not in 05. (One of the little details about these cars that confuse a lot of people - they made some minor changes like this thru out the production run.)
