door lock/mirror/window toggle switches lit

My toggle switches are suddenly illuminated all the time ! The door ajar dash light was giving me trouble recently so I unplugged the wire at the door catch/latch. Would that have anything to do with this or not ? Doesn't seem like it would. What do you all think ? Thanks.

Could be... these trucks have a common "door ajar" problem that is sometimes fixed by spraying thoroughly with WD40.

I think you are right about the door switch. If the GEM thinks that a door is open, it will tell the Accessory Delay Relay to energize, lighting up the power window and lock buttons, among other things. Do the dome lights stay on too?

The GEM is what turns on your door adjar light, so all this is linked together.

Dome light doesn't stay on, and I'm beginning to think I'm nuts and just didn't wait for the relay to time out. They are not illuminated anymore! Thanks.
