Question: Interior Light Won't Turn Off

Question

Visitor, 2.3L 4 Cylinder, Nashville, NC, April 24, 2011, 11:49

The interior light will not turn off after the door (the right door particularly) is closed. The "Door Ajar" light stays on. What could be causing this

    Each door has a switch on the door latch which tells whether a door is open or shut.

    One of your switches is indicating "open" and keeping the light and door ajar indicator on.

    Try to spray some silicone lubricant or even WD40 into the latch area - sometimes freeing up a binding switch with lube helps. If not, the faulty switch will need replaced.
