SOURCE: Malibu dome entry/exit light does not turn on when doors open.

My wife showed me that one- the doom lite in center of roof is 3 postision, slide it to passanger side then back to center. Its a poorly made switch but once set in middle the lites will come on/off with door openning/closing. Be aware it dims delays when going off, not immediate.

SOURCE: when doors are open dome light does not turn on

door pin switches frozen by ice or rust. Remove and replace. Also check there is not a 3 way switch at the dome light that keeps the light off when doors open.

This can be one of 2 things.

1. The door ajar switch ( part of the door latch ) is gummed up and a good spraying of WD-40 can clean it out. Could take several times to cure the issue.

The other specific to New Body Style 04-08 MY F-150 :

2. There is a bad splice in the driver's side door sills. On the SUperCrew it is usually closer to the c-pillar on the rear door.
These are pictures of the 2 splice locations :

sscullys_39.jpg

The splice is a 3 way splice ( 2 wires to 1 wire ) and covered in something that looks like hockey tape. The splice gets wet, and no longer wrks. You might have to go back further into the harness to find wire that is not discolored if this is the case. Takes quite a bit of time to find the splices, as there are a lot of wires in the door sill.

2005 Dodge Durango SLT: ALL of the interior lights individually work when I turn them on manually at the light, but not when I open the door or use the dash switch.

ALL FUSES GOOD
SCAN THE PCM SEE ERRORS?> OOPS?

car drive great day and night and outside park amps all work. and heads too.
you do know that many cars this is user DIY programmable.
i can set mine all 5 door open and not one inside lamp goes on, (and that is what I have) and never dead battery me ever.
so local knob lamps on works. inside, i guess at dome lamps actual have a switch>? yes.
lets focus on door jam switches dead.
you read the lost glove box users guide on all this first, a free book from dodge.

service manual fact read to you now
the cluster brain runs all lamps inside car
8 lamps
the pin C3 p11 is courtesy lamp driver wire. 1 one wire.
YL/OR color coded wire. (this wire is CUT?)
at a dome lamp if you flip it switch, A TO B
IT GOES TO THE GLOVE BOX POWER FEED.
i bet this confuses you, that there are 2 dome feeds
1 from cluster and 1 from glove feed.
the dome switch just picks one of two feeds

SO I BET GLOVE BOX LAMP DOES WORK AND NO TOLD.
SO MY GUESS IS CLUSTER BRAIN BAD OR JUST CONFUSEd, OR PROGRAMMED WRONG.?
no way 5 doors fail. to cluster.
now way all lamps shorted, it works in some ways.
now the BIG secret told in the free users guide.

THE COURTESY LAMPS HAVE 30 SECOND AND 8 MINUTE RULE.
PAGE 13 + I PASTE
THE CLUSTER HAS 5 POWER PINS NOT COUNTING IGN KEY ON. POWER.<DONT CARE THAT)


"Vehicles Equipped With Power Door Locks (THEY DO WORK CORRECTLY ,RIGHT?)

All interior lights will illuminate in the vehicle when the
doors are unlocked using the key fob
The interior lights will remain on for 30 seconds after the
last door is closed, or until all doors are closed and either
the ignition is turned to the ON position or a key fob
LOCK button is pressed.
There is also a battery saver feature that will turn the
interior lights off after 8 minutes if the ignition is OFF
and a door is left open or the dimmer control is in the
interior lights ON position."


IS THIS CONFUSING , THIS IS NO 1980 CAR.
THE CLUSTER BRAIN RUNS THE SHOW.

SEEMS TO ME THE DASH SWITCH IS BAD AND ALL DOOR SWITCHES TO CLUSTER ARE BAD
HOW CAN THAT BE>???????

IF LEVEL HL SWITCH BELOW IS GOOD
THEN ONE LAMP OF THE 8_+ SHORTED WILL CAUSE THEM ALL TO FAIL BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

THIS? IS NOT ALL THE WAY UP CARGO>
2ND FROM TOP IS DOME.
WHAT PARADE IS , all lamps full bight for driving day time head lamps turned on. mode.
ALL DOOR LOCK AJAR SWITCHES GO TO THE CLUSTER BRAIN.
RESET THE CLUSTER WITH FUSE PULLED
J/B f9 AND f10
AND MIP F27
PULLED FOR 15MIN AND PUT BACK, ALL.
THIS MAY RESET THE CLUSTER. brain.

2008 explorer door locks not locking from door switches

This is not a good thing. Ford uses a computer called the GEM and that means General Electronics Module. It controls:
  • Low Coolant Indicator On Cluster
  • Brake Indicator on Cluster
  • DRL - Control
  • Wipers
  • AutoLamps
  • Rear Defrost
  • Interior Lamps(dome)
  • High Beam Indicator only (cluster)
  • Low Coolant indicator
  • Key-in Buzzer
  • Seatbelt indicator only (Cluster)
  • Trunk Pop Relay
  • Power Locks
  • Door Ajar Sensors
  • Door Keyless entry pad
  • Remote Keyless Entry
  • One Touch Down (power window)
  • Air Bag Tone
  • Anti Theft (perimeter Alarm) (SEL, or SE(s) with mods)
  • Lift gate ajar (wagon)
  • Liftgate Pop
  • Accessory Delay signal (accessory that work after engine off, prior to door ajar)
  • Battery Saver Relay signal (accessory that work after engine off, 15 mins) Map lights, vanity mirrors

They are located behind the radio in the dash and they are $$$ about 600 USD.

When i switch off the car and remove key , cd,radio still on,and also the bottoms of window working durango 2006 switch off the car remove key but cd,radio still on (not switch off )+ the windows

This problem is caused by a defective door ajar switch, this is what most call a "Dome light switch" Your vehicle has a function called "delayed exit", this means the accessories stay powered up until one of the doors is opened and the Body Control Module senses it and turns off the power to all the accessories like the radio, windows etc. To verify this open the passenger door, the system should shut off.

I also have 98 neon with "door ajar" light and buzzer staying on but ONLY when all doors are closed. key doesnt evan have to be in ignition! also the dome light works perfect with the door and light switch...

sounds like their is a short in the wiring to the dome light and buzzer... i know you don't want to hear that... if it is grounded somewhere that is why it quits when you remove the bulb... possible wire caught behind the dash when you put it back together... if so that would cause the ground...

How do I shut off the door ajar/dome light buzzer on my "93 Ford Escort

you have to undo the instrument cluster, the buzzer is straight behind. you need a phillips screwdriver to undo the screws above the speedo ( 2 of them) pull the trim straight out, the lower side is with clamps. 4 phillips for the instruments, then grab behind to catch the speedo cable, squeeze it at its bigger ends and pull it off. Turn lights on, open the door and you know where the fellow is. pull the plug , done. If it is your first time, good luck with the speedo cable.

Dome light stays on afrter the door is shut And the ''door ajar light comes on And the dome light will not go out. If I take the lamp (bulb) out the door ajar goes out and of couse the light goes out,...

in the door jam there is a switch it sounds like the switch either needs to be adjusted or replaced to adjust loosen the big flat screw at the bottom and turn the switch to acheive the right height. if it is at the correct height then try a new switch. this should solve that problem if not then you have me stumped also.
