Make sure the top (headliner interior lights are not pushed in,that is manually turned on.
If it is all the interior lights check your door switch, the little round tab that is compressed when the door is closed, is not broken off or stuck in the open position. If it has just come loose you can tighten the jamb nut that holds it to the body, and it will once again activate.

All interior lamps or just one dome,, why not mention them all .
as they are are related.. even the cluster glows in park.

and add, on some , the drivers switch that does just that.
door switches,? (ajar)
Head lights on or only in park on, or broken, are parks on ,outside.
and the driver demands them on. all curiosity lights. or its broken this switch.
i dont have links to free operators guides.

if you can read blue lines? (old speak ) for schematics.
then its free... on ZJ 96

chapter 8w (posted vast times)
sub chapter, 44


the HL switch has a DOME position.
and some domes have their own switch mode. directly

id need to know the status of all lamps inside car
with the HL switch to off. (not in dome pos)
but now you have the schematic, and have the Power of lightning !

SOURCE: What is the recommended weight engine oil for a

Manufacturer calls for 10w 30 for that engine. However you will get more life from it if you use a 10w 40 or a good synthetic with a similar designation or even higher such as 20w50.(synthetic only).
Along with any organic oil, it is a good idea to use marvel or lucas additives. Do not use cheap oil. Most are paraffin based and will cause sludge problems.

1996 jeep grand cherokee no automatic interior lights

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).
