I have a problem with my dome light staying on. I have read a few threads and its not the door switch itself but is related.
Details:
Dome light will not turn off. Although, sometimes it will. I finally found a common thing. The PO installed a Clifford keyless entry system. The remote no longer works, but there is a Clifford red light on the dash, presumably to indicate it is on. This light will sometimes go off and on, with no movement by me whatsoever. When it is off the dome light works correctly; going off when you push in the door switch. And the dimmer knob turns it on and off correctly. When the 'Clifford' light is on, is when the problem happens. When you push the door light switch in, the dome gets a tiny bit darker but stays on. So it is related to the wiring of the Clifford switch eh? Of course I simply have the fuse pulled out at this time. Any ideas on what the actual problem is?
On another note there is also a unhooked wire hanging down from under the dash. It looks to be spliced (not factory) into another wire, which I haven't been able to trace yet. This hanging wire also has a fuse in it, then a couple inches later an end that looks like it plugs into a relay. But it is just hanging. If I ground this wire I see nothing happen. Not sure if it is related but wanted to pass along in case anyone has heard of this wire. But mostly just concerned about the dome light not shutting off.
TIA everyone,
