Dome light stays on.
 
My dome light stays on when you close the door. I have to turn it
off/on manually by moving the switch in between two settings. It
has been this way since I've had the truck. It's a pain since I work
nights, and drive in the dark both ways.
How do I fix this?:dontknow:

the quick way would be to spray wd-40 in the door latch and open and close the door a few times and it should fix it....

Do you mean the button-switch in the door jamb?
I'll go out and try it.

WD-40 is your answer.... I had this problem after I got my truck... and BAM... wd-40 fixed it, and I haven't had a problem with it since then.

what's going on with the cargo lights?

Re: Dome light stays on.
 
I'm assuming that the cargo lights are supposed to come on with
the dome. I changed the bulbs (one was blown, one wasn't) and
they still don't work.
I can live without the cargo lights, but I thought it was worth a try.
I'm tickled to have the domes working, now I can think about the
Mustang dome light mod I've been hearing about.:D

the cargo lights should turn on with the dome light, only when you push up the rotary switch next to the headlight control. they don't come on when you open a door.

Cargo lights now working. After changing both bulbs, I pushed
up firmly on the rotary switch, and they came on.:D
