The interior light module is not timing out. The possibility of the interior lights staying on could run your battery down over night. Replace the interior light module.
Most common problem is a sticky door switch. Spray the door switches liberally with WD-40 or similar product and manually push the switch by hand several times to work the lubricant into the switch. If this doesn't fix the problem, try to isolate the faulty switch by alternately opening one door at a time and manually pushing on the switch with your hand and observe if the dome light goes out.
Hello! The instigator of this problem appears to be the the rear cargo lamp; Official name is rear dome light. You'll need a multimeter set on the X10 ohm scale to shoot this trouble. Leave the rear dome light bulb out. There are two switches involved; #1 the rear dome light on/off. #2 the right hand front door switch.
Pull the horn fuse out, remove the rear dome light cover, drop the rear dome light down to access the wiring and close all doors on the vehicle. Connect one lead of the ohm meter to the white wire and the other to body ground. If you read any resistance one or both of the two switches (dome light switch or right hand front door switch) is remaining closed when all doors are closed. Next disconnect the black lead from the dome light switch and see if reading changes to zero. If it does this is indicating that the dome light switch is defective. If it does not, disconnect the right hand door switch and take another reading at the same location. If you still measure any resistance, the black wire of the rear dome light is shorted to ground, if not then the right hand door switch is the culprit.
The reason the right hand door switch and not the left hand door switch is involved is the fact that opening the left front door would turn on the front dome light as well as the rear light. If both dome lights are staying on with all doors closed I would then involve both door switches in this test procedure. If your vehicle is a four door model then disconnect one door switch at a time while performing this test procedure.
The horn fuse also supplies power to the rear dome light, and I suspect the two events are related.
there is a fuse for the dome lights that has no power you need to check it for power. it shold have power all the time, it feeds the radio, dome lights, power locks, and keyless entry.
check you door switch buttons to see if they will each turn off the lights. Open one door at a time, push the door push button by hand and see if the lights go out. If they do, that is your probelm switch or the door is not closing tight enough to psuh the pluger button all the way in.
This is a problem with the alternator. Diode rectifiers and voltage regulator replacement will give this baby a 14.2 voltage output. In this 3L V6 SUV removal of the alternator requires removing the right tire, the right axis and undercovering to reach the 6G alternator. It is a 133mm rectifier with a motorcraft, The serpentine belt is better removed from the bottom. Also keep a bucket on hand to recover the oil from the transmission.
If the car starts to die and then it loses power in the starter...it's your alternator, if it just quits unexpectedly then it could be a wiring fault or a computer module problem.
