Hey recently since i had my truck broken into, i had my stereo deck ripped out of my truck. ever since then my constant power wire through the truck seems to have stoped work. cant find the reason why, but ever since this happened. i have no dash lights, everything is fine on the dash unit. gauges work, speedometer, ext. everything but the dash lights. i was wondering if anyone knows how you can fix this issue? have to stick with the truck for a few more months just wanna fix this

interior lighting by rangerdude1

I have a 1997 ford ranger and the interior dome light stays on all the time even when you close the doors or start the engine. Someone told me it could be the door relays but I have no idea where to find them could someone help me.

Have to take the door panels off.
 
Inside there, near the actual door handle, key lock mechanism is the switch. Some people say a lot of WD40 or electrical cleaner thru the door handle hole can reach it without taking the panel off.
 
I would take the panel off. THe switch might have to be replaced.

I had the same problem with my '02 ranger about 3 years ago. The dome light stayed on for around 10 to 15 seconds then go off, after a short while later it stayed on in increasing intervals and going to my local Ford dealer and being told it would cost $70 to look at it, I sprayed the hinges, key holes, and the part that actually holds the door closed in place on both doors with WD 40. This has actually fixed the problem, I have not had the first second of trouble with it since.

Either a short to ground (drawing current and making light dim) in the wiring before the lights, or a bad ground (not allowing current to flow thru the light) in the wiring after the lights, on that side.

I am having the same problem. My highbeams and turn signals work but headlight dont work. The problem began some time ago when the headlight wouldnt turn on, but when i tapped the signal switch which also turns on the high beams it popped on. So i figured it was some wiring going bad, because everything else worked and even now still works (high beams, turn signals, wipers). Anywho does anybody have a clue to what is going on and how this can be fixed? is it a easy fix? Im going to investigate at a couple auto joints and if find anything i will report back.

I have a 99 ranger. What reason would my right hand side turn signals not work. The bulbs are fine... but only the right side does not work. Any ideas?
