How do I disconnect a front door light switch

problem light control module

bad earth behind instrument panel
or corrosion /dry solder
or instrument panel printed board compromised

if happy with inspection of instrument panel
replace the warning bulb
and look at all the door earths and positive wiring

seems not, there are 7 switches to fail
A fact.(even 8 possible read on)

OP, car have alarm.?
or just door doom lamps and door switches
4 DOORS, called 5 in Europe for good reasons.

im looking now online see
if your BCM or alarm are involved
this step is always first

whats there is first.
(simple or complex)dig>?
just sold 04, day suzuki went bankrupt USA> gone.
i dont need no stink'n Yogo's here.
point is ,I have full DOCS on it. still PDFs max.

so I will pretend you said
1; USA CAR
2: NO ALARM
3;DOME FAILS.

SO WHAT CAN FAIL BESIDES WIRES? (YES ALL WIRES ON ALL CARS CAN FAIL. SO NO NEED TO SAY IT EVER)
5 switches shorted,do that.
or even the 2 dome manual mode switch turned on
by accident or bad.
no computers here.

Is your dash board lights dimmer switch turned all the way to the right? This is normally how the 'dome' light is turned on. Check yours.

It may be some other problem ... check this first.

Aren't the door switches in the door jamb or is the dial for the dash lights turned all the way up?

At least one of your door ajar switches are sticking. Try spraying rust penetrant into the latches and open and close the doors several times. If they still stay on you will have to locate which latch it is by removing the door panels and disconnecting the switches.

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.

its built into the door latch

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?

on your interior light switch (dimmer switch) just get in the vehicle close doors and turn the dimmer switch and that should do it
