cabin light

there seems to be a problem with my cabin light. When I open the door it turns on fine and then I close the door and it turns off but there are sometimes where it just doesnt want to turn off and its not cause i havent closed the door correctly(i slamm them to make sure). Possible suggestions, what ive been doing when that happens is disconnecting the battery until i use the car the next time.

Welcome to FTE.

Check out Kens "Tech Info" thread atop this forums thread listing page & scroll down to the "dome light" link, A squirt of WD-40 in the right place may fix you up. Lots of other good "how to's" there also!!!!

Let us know how it goes.
