SOURCE: 1999 Chev Silverado Door Light Switch

the actuator for the dome light is actually located inside the lock mechanism. Have you checked to make sure the dome light override button is in the out position?

SOURCE: dome light will not turn off. I found a door jam

Remove door switches one at a time, as you still have a short. You have checked that the switch on the lamp is in the correct position to allow it to switch off?

I hope I have been of help but please do not hesitate to ask if you have any further questions.
I appreciate your vote if you appreciate my reply.

The dome light will not come on when driver door opened. Door jamb switch is fine.

Have you tried a little squirt of wd40 or graphite in the door jam switch and then hand manipulate it a few times?

1959 pontiac 2 door bonneville. how do you hook up the wiring for the dome light? two wires coming down from the light. driver side door switch has two terminals. pass side door switch has one terminal.???

Negative from the dome light to one terminal on the door jab,and the other terminal,hook to,and run to the other door jam on passengers side.The hot wire from the dome light goes to the hot side on the fuse box.A additional light switch can be installed,to turn the dome light on from inside the car,by running a ground to the switch,and from the switch to the ground side of the dome light.

2001 Sequoia, door ajar light goes off, but dome light stays on. Door ajar light comes on with slight pressure against closed door. Can replacing the door jam switch solve this problem? Why would the door...

To temporarily solve the light problem, I taped a washer to the inside of the door where the door hits the plunger on the light switch. A permanent solution would be to drill a hole in the door at this spot and put a self taping screw in that will trigger the switch sooner. I figured out the reason the dome light stayed on is due to the courtesy light timer and the lights would have eventually gone off.

Dome light will not go out

Check that the headlight switch is not turned the whole way to turn the dome lights on. If that is okay start checking the door switches one of them has gone bad and needs replaced. You will have to pull the switch out of the door jam to check the switch.

Door ajar keeps coming on along with dome light and door locks keep clicking back and forth

Door jam switch is shorting out unhook the switch in the door jam and see if that changes anything if it does then replace

1998 sunfire, dome light stays on after both doors are closed.

check that the buttons on the doors are not stuck or broken.. you also have a dome override (should be near your light switch) or the roller that dimes the interior lights
