#111 of 138 interior lighting by rangerdude1 Mar 03, 2008 (10:24 am)
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. Replies to this message: bolivar (Mar 04, 2008 3:23 am)

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.

Replying to: grapp (Apr 04, 2006 1:05 pm) 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.

Replying to: f1ref1ghter82 (Mar 30, 2008 4:20 pm) 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.

Replying to: folky87 (Feb 07, 2008 2:03 pm) 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.
#118 of 138 Turn Signals Don't Work!! by brianp3 Apr 10, 2008 (9:30 am)
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?

Replying to: seasonoffear (Apr 03, 2008 6:27 pm) This is one answer ive heard so far, and im still checking things out. The highbeam switch/blinker/washer has gone bad. The wiring for the headlights and hig beams go through it. Obvious because when clicking it foward go highbeams to stay on they dont work, they only work when you pull the switch arm back towards you where you must hold for the lights to stay on. The part can be a little over 100$ brand new, but ive been told to go to a scrap yard and ask about that part, you could get it for like 25$. The part is easy to replace yourself. Take off the steering wheel neck guards and the switch is held on by 2 screws, detach the wiring and replace with new switch, and put everything back in order.   This is only one opinion ive heard, and we may have diffrent cases, but ill let you know what total deal is with my lights soon. Cooo
