Light inside stays on

I have a 1990 Bronco and tonite when I came home the light inside was still on when I shut the door. I couldn't find any reason why it was doing that and I ended up disconnecting the battery. I had another Bronco that did the same. Has anyone else had this problem and how can I get it to stop doing that.

Just pull the fuse when these kind of things happen!!! Now your computer will have to relearn everything and if you got a sensor going out of spec it is going to learn
the table referencing to a out of spec component whereas before it eventually will throw a cel when what it was getting from the sensor didn't match up to the existing tables! If you leave the key in and the door closed does the buzzer stay going? If it doesn't then it is probably the passenger door switch. Time to pop out the door switch and check for continuity(with a multi meter) while pressing in the switch and then with it out. See what that gets you and get back to us!

When the key is in and the drivers door is shut the buzzer is off so it must be the passenger door. I'll have to look at it tommorrow.
