Okay I'm really confused here. I just bought this truck from a family friend.. (different state, rather not talk to the guy..) ever since i got this car i noticed that there is no over head light, so I put one in the other day. All the doors were closed and no option to turn light off or on, but as soon as i put the bulb in it went on.... I went to each door messing with the little sensors, it still will remain on. The only way I can get it to turn off is if I take it out. I don't know what it can be. I'm really hoping its not a short or something. Thanks for the replies Wink

I'm near certain there's a delay for interior light when doors are closed they stay on a couple minutes. Wait longer.

There should be an "overide" button near dimmer to leave them off - at least some do that. I don't think you can bypass the delayed lighting thing that easily - just wait and see how long they take but do make sure they do go out,

Another thing to check: The rheostat that you turn to raise or dim the instrument cluster illumination, if turned all the way to bright, then just a bit more, will turn on the cabin light.

Thank you guys very much!Wink It ended up being the front passenger door sensor. I'm sure this isn't the last you're going to hear from me. lol
