95 buick lesabre door jam button that turns dome light on and off

to solve this it takes only 2 things, a meter and schematic of the dome lap circuit on any car.
yours is easy new cars this runs off BCM computer magic.
31year old, most switches that old fail. be it 4 doors or dome lamp switches up high. can all fail.
called door jamb switches, bad / if are
each dome lamp is turned off. at the park switch or at the dome.

the cures, I have no users guide, (rare) so answer is generic
1: turn off dome ,via. steering stalk park switch some have dome setting
1b:: the dome lamps them self have a switch, of some kind stated in the mission manual
2: remove all these 1 by one, or first open all 4 doors
and cycle the switch see of dome goes off.



on most cars door closed is switch open
if true we remove the switch and pull the plug and dome goes off
if yes the switch was bad.

the button is at the door hinge by the weather seal it takes a 3/8 wrench or a socket to remove and replace,don't let the two wires touch it will blow a fuse they are about $5 at part house good luck...

This is a problem caused by a sticking door ajar/courtesy light switch. The switch signal goes to the BCM (body control module) and that turns on the interior lights. Since each door has this switch you need to have the dealer use a special tool to scan the module inputs from the door switches and see which door switch is causing the lights to stay on.

when the car is not running and all the doors are shut the lights should turn of due to a pin switch being pressed in the door apature or lock mec some int lights work of a relay which means there might be a short delay before the go out

Open the door and where the hindges bolt to the body of the car you should see a push button type switch.Once you have located the switch, wiggle it to see if it still has a snug fit, also work the button in and out to see if it will turn the dome light off and on.If you can not find the switch, but you find an empty hole about the size of the end of your babby finger then the switch probably came lose from vibration and fell down inside. It will half to be retrived and reinstalled.Repeat for each door untill you find the problem switch. The problem is usually with the drivers door because it gets the most use.

i hope you do not have the dimmer switch turned all the way up. If you don't it could be the interior light pin switch. It's mounted either at the door jam area or inside the door on the door latch assembly. GM techs could use a TECH2 to check body control module functions and perform overide to confirm this.

do you not have a switch on dash for them? try turning the switch counterclockwise to turn them off. or you may have a bad switch on the door jam,,look for a plunger swictch on the door jam itself push the plunger in on the doorjam,,if the lights go off, then you'll know the problem! hope this helps!1

Been having a problem with the dome lights on a 99 chevy blazer. Still can't figure out what the problem is. There is a dome light overide button located under the dimmer wheel. When I push the overide button in the dome light goes off, but when I open any of the doors the dome light will not come on. When the overide button is out the dome light stays on all the time and will not turn off even though every door is closed. I checked all the pushbuttons and everything tests good. Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it?

yes there is a relay switch in engine compartment or under dash
