My interior light wont turn off, even with the doors closed and there is no switch, i have a 1996 Chevy S-10 pickup extended cab and the fuse panel is gone so i dont know which fuse to pull any help is apreciated

after all fuses and relays verified are working it sounds like you have keyless entry on the door panel with a keypad and in either case theres a driver door module inside the door panel this may have gone or the fuse for that has blown I'm ssuming that you have the owners manual with the diagrams if not ford owners .com register then download your manual then go to roadside emergencies and the fuse and power distribution box diagrams are there also this could be you headlight switch so if the fuses are all good then lookat the door module on the drivers side next to the speaker or the headlight switch do the windows work also check the master window switch this is because all components have some borrowed power from other wire circuits so look carefully at all of these even a corroded wire or contact can cause havoc on other systems clean al and a light dab or spray of wd40 will help you good luck Stephen

bad multi-function switch

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).

Fuel gauge issue : this could be the fuel level sensor on the tank. its only a minor thing. with in regards to the lights it sounds like there is a wire that is shorting out causing it to stay on but take it an electrician and they should be able to test for this, and also the light switch could be faulty aswell and wont let the light turn off

The door switch has been integrated into the latch mechanism on many GM vehicles,but I believe the switch can be replaced seperately.You will have to pull of the door trim panel to get at it,so you can probably do it yourself,depending on your skill level.

Flashers are generally located either under the dash (they hide them behind the horizontal panel) under the hood in the fuse box.

Also, relays can be hidden under the hood or in the fuse box.

The interior fuse box is where the 'turn signal' fuse is located.

you need to check the door switches make sure that they work you can disconnect them and check to see wich one is bad you do this by opening only one door at a time and disconnecting it the one that turns the lights off is the bad one. and you can also check the dimmer switch sometime the wheel gets turned all the way over and the lights stay on also

sounds like you have a short in 1 of your door switches one by one open doors one at a time find the pin switch and remove with a wrench 1 by one push the switch in and break contact or unplug the switch if light goes out then it's time to get a new pin or just leave it disconected and no more lights from that door
btw do if there was no one in the car with you and you can remember what door was closed last b4 this started i might be easy to find work backwards

CK THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH ON THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR POWER IN & OUT WHEN ON THE BRAKE.IF IT IS OK U MANY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH.POWER GOES THROUGH THE SWITHC TO THE REAR LIGHTS.WIGGLE THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH WHILE STEPING ON THE BRAKE IF THEY LIGHT OP THE T/S SWITCH IS BAD.

yes it is the same. the problem is most likely the turn signal switch which is located on the steering column. be sure to check all fuses, relays, and bulbs first. keep me posted thanks
