Ps? What is that? Naturally the first place to look is the switch that should be activating your dome light. Does it come on when you open the passenger door? Is the bulb good?

Sorry, ps is passenger side. Yes that side works without a problem. Is the switch for the dome light behind The latch? Others have said its in the door jam but i dont see anything.

I don't remember where it is on the '98. I have one but my son is driving it. Also my shop manuals for it are at home and I am not. Maybe someone else can chime in here.

I have a 97 Ranger XLT I was having an issue with the dome light staying on. What I did was take a good penetration oil something that won't cause dust and grime to stick to it like a grease. I oiled the door catch down several times. Oiled then opened and shut numerous times oiled shut it repeat a few times on each door fixed mine haven't had the issue since. Might be something quick and easy to try.
