dome lights draining battery
2002 Exc, 7.3L TD, Some one broke into the truck last week by jaming a screwdriver into the door key lock. Tried to pull the ignition out but failed. Pulled the A/V system out, cutting wires and such. So the dealer (insurance covered it ) installed the new door lock and said nothing is wrong with the ignition. But now the dome lights and running board lights come on at random and kill the batteries.
Could it be the ignition? Or something inside the driver's door? The batteries are brand new.

greentree - I am thinking the same thing. I tried 3 different times to get the dealer and insurance company to look at the ignition again and they keep coming back with "it can't be the ignition because teh vehicle starts"
The ignition was about 3/4 of an inch out of the steering column so I wondering if something didn't get screwed up in there.

I took steering column cover off, took ignition out. It all looks normal. But it is looser than it was before the attempted theft. There is alot of play in the lock cylinder.
