Not sure what kind of truck you are talking about. I would guess that your door switch is sticky though.

This is a very common problem in our trucks. search the forum and you will find PLENTY of answers for this question. The short version is to spray the mechanism with wd40 and it should resolve the problem.

Good Luck
Chris

Or check to see if your dimmer control for the dash lights isn't too far "up". That turns on the inside lights.

BTW..For the admins....What happened to our signatures?

Ken is doing some tweaking and changes to the site. Hopefully everything will be working again soon.
BillyBob, at least it says you're a supporter. I don't even have that working right now
lol
Have you guys checked out the Site Announcements forum down near the bottom of the main forum page? There are some great changes coming for paid up Club FTE members

Sounds like you need new door switches. They are inside the doors on the door latches. You may be able to just unplug them to get the lights to go out.
