Blinking dome light with the doors closed and the moter running

its either a bad door switch,or could be the dome override switch by headlight switch,or your interior light switch is all the way up

1) Step in the vehicle and make sure that all doors are closed completely
2) Insert the key into the ignition key cylinder.

ON position 5 times within 10 seconds (Last position : ON).
? Status Monitor LED will illuminate for 30 seconds.
Note : In case you implement 6 times or more by mistake,
action steps 6)-8) you made will be canceled.
Please retry from step 2).

In the Ford Ranger, the light switch can be found in the door, right by the latch. You may need to use some WD-40 to get to work properly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You probably have a bad door switch in the drivers door.You have to have the door panel removed to gain access to the switch.I believe it is on the outer door handle.It will have wires going to it.You can remove the dome light fuse for the meant time.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Hello! The instigator of this problem appears to be the the rear cargo lamp; Official name is rear dome light. You'll need a multimeter set on the X10 ohm scale to shoot this trouble. Leave the rear dome light bulb out. There are two switches involved; #1 the rear dome light on/off. #2 the right hand front door switch.

Pull the horn fuse out, remove the rear dome light cover, drop the rear dome light down to access the wiring and close all doors on the vehicle. Connect one lead of the ohm meter to the white wire and the other to body ground. If you read any resistance one or both of the two switches (dome light switch or right hand front door switch) is remaining closed when all doors are closed. Next disconnect the black lead from the dome light switch and see if reading changes to zero. If it does this is indicating that the dome light switch is defective. If it does not, disconnect the right hand door switch and take another reading at the same location. If you still measure any resistance, the black wire of the rear dome light is shorted to ground, if not then the right hand door switch is the culprit.

The reason the right hand door switch and not the left hand door switch is involved is the fact that opening the left front door would turn on the front dome light as well as the rear light. If both dome lights are staying on with all doors closed I would then involve both door switches in this test procedure. If your vehicle is a four door model then disconnect one door switch at a time while performing this test procedure.

The horn fuse also supplies power to the rear dome light, and I suspect the two events are related.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/david_6df67de3b14de867

its built into the door latch

is the dome switch in the correct position it may also indicate a Trouble code is it a steady blink or a few blinks followed by a series of rapid blinks ....try lowering the intensity on the switch for the interior lights it may just be connecting enough to allow it to flash rapidly the door switch may be just opening and closing just enough to cause this an adjustment may be required to fix it does it happen if you hold the door switch in the fully closed position ?

Been having a problem with the dome lights on a 99 chevy blazer. Still can't figure out what the problem is. There is a dome light overide button located under the dimmer wheel. When I push the overide button in the dome light goes off, but when I open any of the doors the dome light will not come on. When the overide button is out the dome light stays on all the time and will not turn off even though every door is closed. I checked all the pushbuttons and everything tests good. Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it?

lol....dont feel bad.....it happens to ALL of us
