Yes, sounds like the battery is low. need to recharge or replace. An auto parts store can test it for you.

Batteries are usually good for 5 years.
Prior to that then the battery may not be getting fully charged.
Either due to weakening alternator or loose/corroded connections in the big cables, or loose or broken wires.

SOURCE: 96 taurus wagon interior lights and power windows

just a guess but Id look for a bad chasis ground. I say this cuz the interior light switch for the door is a normally- open - grounding. The test for this theory would be to run a jumper wire from the neg batt terminal to the body, or from the eng to the body/chasis.

MOST LIKELY A BAD BATTERY, TRY TO JUMP START IT . IF IT STARTS RIGHT UP REPLACE BATTERY OR TAKE IT TO SHOP, MOST SHOPS WILL TEST BATTERYS FOR FREE.

SOURCE: How do I take off

You have two terminals on the battery. They have one bolt a piece. The hot side is red. The ground is blue. Make sure the two do not touch. Take the hot side off first. Be careful not to touch the wrench to anything metal. It will give you a shock. Take the ground off next and pull it out. You probably have a battery holder on it to. It should be just a bolt as well.

My 2000 Ford Expedition has been parked for awhile and will not start.

You need a good battery. It should read 12.6v while not running and 13.5v + while running. Sounds like a bad cell. Not curable.

2008 Altima with push button start. Why won't the fob unlock doors?

Insert key into and remove it from ignition more than six times in 10 seconds. When the hazards lights will flash twice insert key into ignition and turn to ACC position.
Then push any button on key fob once, the hazard lights will flash twice. Then open drivers door to END.
Should be all working again.

2008 Jeep Liberty error code gate on dash and interior light will not turn off got new battery and still doing it

can i buy a comma? says vanna white?? LOL !
ok, the battery drains, so you got a DRAIN, called phantom drain.
or dark current.!!
we use a thing called an AMMETER (DMM) to find all drains, easy

do you have one, want to learn or just wanting wild guessing.

on any 08 liberty, we check the scan tool data.
oops it shows battery low, wow even the PCM sees that.

new batteries do not fix drain.
nor dead alternators.

get it serviced, by a pro. ?

1: charge battery (rested its 12.6vdc )
2: start engine, scan tool shows, what DTC errors (post em')
3: battery voltage is , 13.3, to 15vdc running, if not charge system is faulting.
4: ok all that is ok, i then key off and measure bettery cable neg lug drain current, if 0.010a to 0.040a its ok, if over 0.1 amps its a drain.
we then find the drain cause, ASK? its not hard with a meter.
but i bet all you wanted is a wild guess.

All done lights flash on and off and the turn

The wire for a door switch is laying on the flasher terminals where the e is crimped to the socket for the flasher. Move the wire and the flasher will flash correctly and the dome lite will work correctly too.

Flashing Dome light constantly when ignition on

check all fuses one might have blown and this could be a warning sign in the old days if you blew out the tail lights the interior light would come on and the signal indicator for which bulbs but also buy the electrical manual available from ford and search out the wiring there could be a jumped circuit
