Sometimes after I shut the vehicle off the dome light stays on. It is a 1996 GMC Suburban. I have already checked the round wheel or not the timer. Sometimes the light shutoff switch will not shut the light off. Is there a time relay switch on my vehicle somewhere? and where would it be located?

SOURCE: How do you hook up trailer lights on my 1999 gmc 4x4 Suburban

If your only going with a flat 4 connector, you will have a connection behind rear bumper area that you can buy an adapter to put between the connectors & flat 4 will connect from there, otherwise you can splice into your light harness in back of cargo area, behind panel in the corner. That's all provided your only going with a flat 4. If you need more info, just let me know.

SOURCE: 1996 GMC Suburban - Quit Running While Driving, Will Not Start

switch the fuel pump relay with another on in the realy box. see if you hear the pump come on when you turn the key on (should run for 2 seconds) if not, have someone rap on the bottom center of fuel tank while you are trying to start the truck if it starts, the pump is bad and you will need to replace it. if you hear the pump run and is doesnt start, it may be a spark problem , verify if you have spark. this engine needs 58-62 PSI fuel pressure, if it has 55PSI, its not going to run.

Testimonial: "Assistance was very helpful and the mechanics were very knowledgeable."

96 Suburban has no power to the starter switch & other electrical problems

You may need a shop to look at it, or get a used shop manual from Ebay to get the necessary wiring diagrams. The problems could be related, such as the key switch or the main wiring harness.
You say the dome light fuse is draining the battery, is one of the interior lights staying on ?

Gmc dome light troubles

Only one simple suggestion here--the buttons in the door when open that turn them on may be bad or stuck---I have had several vehicles with this problem and lubing them can fix the issue.

Also check the dimmer wheel to see it is not all the way at one end where dome lights will be on all the time.

Short of these have a expert take a look- the dimmer wheel is the most common cause--being clicked all the way to one end dome lights will be on.

1996 GMC Suburban...Courtesy lights stay on and will not go off. Tried button- off-- tried interior lights up and down....Button to turn off dome lights does nothing and will not stay punched in

96 Jimmy Check the SMT surface mount technology, referring to circuit boards.
WOW, listen under the steer wheel is a panel
drop it down on the panels left side as it comes down is a small black plastic box left of the diagnosis jack with I don't know 5 or 6 wires going to it, wires come from the left hand corner above the emer brake pedal. Plugged in lights on ,,out lights off. Then have the unit tested. or replace. If there was ever a power surge the caps could have blown.

Dome light on my 1998 gmc suburban wont shut off

Maybe your door switch button has broken off. Sometimes I bump my dash light dimmer wheel (which also turns on my dome light) and it stays on in my 93 Chevy pickup

I have a 1989 chevy s10 horn radio and dome light not working keeps blowing horn/dm fuse out

Check inside the drivers and passenger side door jam for the little push in type switch. 9x out of 10 one or the other will be causing the short to the dome fuse. These little **** get rusty and also get alot of wear and tear from the door opening and shutting over and over. These switchs are what causes your dome light to come on when you open your door and or likewise they shut your dome light off when you shut you door. A very good way to test to see if one of these little switchs is the couprate is to take and hook up a voltage light into the negative side battery post after you disconnect the battery negative line.. If your voltage light is on than that would mean that you have a short somewhere in your system. Now, since you already know that you are blowing the dome fuse then your already halfway there. With the light on your votage light still on indicatin a short, unscrew the little switch on the door jam and disconnect the power wire from it. Check to see if the light on your voltage light is still indicating a short, if not then you can be sure that the door jam was the coulprete. Hope this is of help.

Suburban 4 hign does not work but 4 lo does

I have had maybe 9 Suburbans, over the years. Whenever I put in 4WD (whether Lo or Hi), I drive
normally. THEN, when DISENGAGING, I always drive the vehicle in REVERSE maybe 75 yards
AFTER placing in 2WD mode. Sometimes, still, on my '96 Suburban, --- even though the manual says NOT REQUIRED, it will "stick" in 4WD, UNLESS I take above action. Hope this might help.
