Interior lights
Ok...interior lights on my wifes truck will not turn off...unless you pull the fuse. The door ajar light does not come on nor the chimes...but the lights stay on? Any ideas? Where to start looking......I figured if it was the door switches, the ajar light or the chimes would go off. Any help would be appreciatted...........MikeD

I had this happen on my 98 Ranger. I ended up having to replace the dimmer switch. The roller on the dimmer switch somehow bent or broke, and was making contact keeping power to the lights. That would be the first place I would check. Get a multitester and see if you have current through the switch - even when it is unplugged form the wiring harness.

okay..tested the switch...with the fuse in place.all the connections showed power......with the fuse out...all the wires, but a black/pink and a light green/yellow, showed power.........that does not sound right to me...the prob is..the wire colors on the switch and the ones in the book I have dont match......ie. in the book there is no black/pink wire.
Where can i find a wiring pic for a 93 explorer??

I have a '02 Explorer 4Dr. 2 wheel drive and the "Door Ajar" light stays lit, and the interior lights stay on. Does anybody know where the door ajar sensor is on the doors and the hatch? Hope someone can help me out
