door switch location

Does anyone know where the switch is for the door. My interior lights will not shut off, and the door open light is staying open. The truck is a quad cab, and I don't think it is the driver side door. Any help would be great. I did a search and I could not find a post on it, but I can bet I am not the first. Thanks for any help.

It's in the latch system. I, and others have had the same problem. It can be corrected by spraying WD40 very liberally into the latch system. Make sure that you spray up into the latch and then open and close a few times. It should work then. Good luck.

I can't come over, have the boy, and wife is at work. A little spray does the trick, will try it now. You're cables are on the way. Should have them next week.

Glad I could help. I've asked a lot of questions myself and there has always been someone to help.

No problem. Do yoursefl a favor go a get a can of spray lithium grease and hit it with that. WD works for a while but the grease will work longer...no problems on the cables...

No. Like I said I can get any cable you need. I told him to grab 3 optic, and one hdmi. You said you don't need anything else right? Let me know if you do.
