Dome light switch problem

Dome light switches seem to be a big Ford problem. The switch is in the latch, spray it liberally with WD-40 and it will usually straighten up. Start with the driver's door, it gets the most use.

Dome light switch problem

yep,
I just had that problem friday. The "door a jar" light was on the whole way home. I didn't have wd40 so I used some other stuff that does the same thing.

I also came across a car that did the same thing.

The dealer replaced one switch in our Taurus while under warranty. When the second one acted up (both times, drivers door), I just sprayed it well. It has been about 14 months with no problems.
