Interior lights won't go out. I closed all the doors and moved the switches

You need a flat head screwdriver to remove the light cover and the door lock and window switch. and a phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws, the one under the door/window switch could also be a small bolt. (When removing the door/window switch cover pull back on the door handle or you will scratch the cover when removing it). Then pull straight up on the hand bar and you can slip door/window switch cover through the hole.

1. If you have the light switch in the wrong mode the lights will not operate when you open the door.

2. If the interior lights do not operate at all (ie you cannot switch them on and off manually)then you need to check the fuse for the interior lights.

3. When set to the correct mode, the interior lights will operate from a door operated switch so if the switch has failed the lights will either stay on or not operate at all when you open and close the door. Eventually these door switches fail with repeated use and need to be replaced. (Consider how many times the small door switch has been operated since 1996).

Interior lights check for a blowin fuse, For the signal lights end hazzard lights,Get a new signel light flasher, End try it,, If that dooesn,t work there could be loose wires or a brek in the wires or that there is a short some where in the wireing, That will have to be check out at a auto electric shop,

Could be the front electronic module. The module has a timer that holds the lights on for about 60 seconds after you exit the van.

YOU NEED TO CHECK THE CUIRCUT BREAKER USUALLY LOCKATED IN THE FUSE BOX

door switch

Sounds like a blown fuse...i would be checking the fuse panel inside the car, underneath the steering wheel area on the drivers side...this would be an interior fuse that would also control the brkae override switch.....

Have him or her check for a ground issue or a bad wire somewhere. You should not be having to do this. This is some sort of electrical issue in the wiring most likely a grounding problem

its not the alternator, I have a 96 thunderbird and i had the same problem. its an open ground wire somewhere. Make sure your interior lights are turning off when you shut the car off. if the ground is touching metal they will stay on. If they dont then its probably just barely rubbing, I pulled all my floor lights out and havent had a problem since. you dont need to pull the accesory lights just the 4 floor lights ( 1 in each door and 2 under the panel)
