You know, I often criticize YT vids for stating the obvious. But sometimes, even "experts" like me need reminders of what is right in front of us. I didn't watch the whole video because--one minute in--you solved my problem. I had been chasing my tail for ours, pulling switches, looking for shorts--hours wasted because I overlooked the obvious. I had been cleaning my dashboard and accidentally bumped the dimmer to full on. It took me searching the bleeding internet to find this video to have someone tell me the obvious. I will never again complain about troubleshooters who go for the dumbo bit straight off the bat. And, BTW, Thank you!!!!!!!!

After I checked my 2000 Windstar door switches, and backdoor switches failed. Buttons got stuck because of lack of lubricant or grease. sprayed with WD40 and the latches worked like new but there was still a problem. All the interior lights still stay on. I gave up because it was already nighttime. I removed all the bulb lights inside my van that don't turn off to avoid draining my battery. I gathered all my tools and stopped working. After having our dinner, I still don't feel relax because I keep on thinking of what the problem would be. I went to KZfaq and found this A1 Auto Repair tip video. I was enjoying watching the video because the guy has a sense of humor. When it comes to that portion of the dimmer switch next to the headlight switch, I paused the video and grab my Windstar key, ran and opened my garage. I checked the dimmer switch, and it was on the ON position. I put one bulb back inside the dome light then adjust the dimmer and it worked. The light will now turn off when I shut the door. All doors are working and will turn off the dome light. So, I took all light bulbs and put them back. It only took me less than 10 minutes to make it work again. I was working with that for almost 2 hours this afternoon and can't find the problem. Hey A1 auto repair guy, thank you so much for that video. That is why watching A1 repair videos will save you time. Hey, you guys out there having problems with your cars, subscribe like I did. Watch the video, buy the parts from A1, do it yourself and they are right, you save lots of money. I just want to thank you.

Keep in mind; there is a timer involved with the driver's side door vs. the passenger side door. Light will stay on about a minute after you close the driver's side door, but goes out immediately when you close the pass. side door. It can trick a person!

Sticky door latch mechanism will cause the latch to not fully rotate and not engage the micro switch on the latch. Using WD-40 and some maintenance lubricating the latch and the hinges is supposed to be routinely done. If your hinges are good and door alignment is good, it’s likely do to lack of lubrication on the latch inside the door. Try some WD-40 on the latch cam a lubricate the latch assembly and see what happens. Notice when he rotated the latch cam with a screw driver, the light went out. In the Ford truck scenario, it was obvious the hinges were bad but that’s not always the case.
