Interior light wont shut off.

[dynotune]

Door ajar switch open circuit. Remove switch on drivers side, ground wire and if light goes off, that switch is bad. If not check other doors including hatch.

or i tihnk there is just a fuse you can take out.

[Guest]

Anyone know what fuse it could be?

[Guest]

just look at the switch box cover...or in your manual...it will say which one is the interior lights.

[Guest]

No manual.

It is mighty cold outside but I will try it.

[jct_4628]

im sure you could find someone else with ur car with a manual or search long enough online and find one. Maybe the dealership would have access to one??

[amicheze]

try just bending the metal part around the white plastice piece up so the door actually pushes the plastic piece in when its closed.

[Guest]

I pulled out the fuse and the light went out mission accomplished.

Yeah but just now when I was driving it around at just about every stop the car would shut off and taking out that fuse disabled the radio.

[Guest]

what was wrong with this help? this is the correct way to fix it!

if you didnt fix it try putting a small tack weld where the light switch connects in the door jam. i did that on my girlfriends car because the door jam was dented in.
just my two cents.

I had the same problem with both of my DSM's. If I can see it, I'll probably be able to figure it out.

Pull the fuse... Mid West Customs is the best shop ever!
lol just messin with ya.

[Guest]

Yeah after taking out that door switch I took it out on the freeway and played a little bit but once I stopped the idle just went back to normal. Sweet!!!

I think I owe you a six pack or something.
