I have a '98 F150 XLT. The dome light and the utility light that shines into the box came on and now I can't them to shut off. I've pulled the fuse until I can figure out what is wrong. At the same time the door ajar light was on but that went away on it's own. I think the problem is in the driver's door somewhere because after playing with the locks they went out but the next time I tried them they stayed on. Anyone have any ideas?
Need help.

…..See you on the boards.
your door has the switch in side the latch that shuts off the light when its closed they get gummed up after a while try spraying wd 40 into your latch mechanism this usually sorts things out
Hey Fujimo1,
I just joined myself.
Ihave a 1999 f150 and i have the same problem. the lights out side the cab burned all the time also. The housing outside was all melted so I took the bulbs out until i can narrow down the problem. I believe that the door switch is the culpret because it stays lit most of the time now.
