Recently my interior lights keeps being on even through my doors are closed.
I assume there is some problem with the switches in the doors, but I don't know how to check them?

Anybody have any ideas?

The sliding door is the first one I would check. You should be able to pull it out of the frame and unhook it. Then see if the dome lights go off. Process of elimination should fine the culprit.

I should mention that the lights don't come off even if I set the interior light-switch on the dash to off.

Ok........scrath what I said then. :lol: I have no idea then, I would probably mess with the dimmer switch. :shrug:

 

[$uperJoe]

the lights are supposed to come on when the slider opens? mine does not and never has. what about the back doors?

 

[Mr_Bowtie]

Yes whenever any door opens the interior lights should come on as long as you have interior lights switched over to "door". I actually have my switch out for my slider as I like to keep it open at times.

 

[$uperJoe]

i dont have a slider switch. just a bunch of blank popouts

 

[Mr_Bowtie]

Its a passenger Van right? Maybe someone shoved the wires into the hole to just eliminate a bad switch? :lol:

 

[$uperJoe]

yeah passenger but i think its base model. no power windows or locks and only rear ac. thats it

Its weird how people order their Vans as both my Vans are pretty much loaded, besides the rear A/C. :lol:

When I bought the van, the light came off when I shut the door and the switch on the dash worked.
And then suddenly they just stayed on.

hey guys, ive been lurking on this forum for a while ...

i have the exact same issue so im very interested in finding a solution too

 

[olalof]

Hey.

I "solved" this.

I turned out that I was a total idiot.
I didn't realize that the dimmer for the instrument panel had a mode to keep the interior lights on.
:banghead:

Thanks for all your suggestions though. I will try them when the lights break for real.

Yo, I'm having the same problem, the domes won't go out. I've messed with that switch above the radio but nothing happens. When I bought the van the accessory fuse was blown, so I didn't notice the light wasn't turning on. Could I just have a short in that switch?

Have you tried the dimmer for the instrument panel?
It's located above the headlight switch.
