#1 of 2 Dome lights by official22yrs Jul 13, 2009 (7:22 am)
How do I turn off the dome lights when the tailgate is open? I have a 2007 SEL AWD, I tried the adjuster for the dash, no luck, do I just remove the fuse. I bought a tent to hook up to the back of the car. Thanks Replies to this message: foes4sports (Jul 31, 2009 1:50 pm)

Replying to: official22yrs (Jul 13, 2009 7:22 am) Just found the following fix and it works like a charm! With the tailgate open use a screwdriver to force the tailgate lock into the locked position. It will take 2 pushes to get it into its fully locked position. The lights will stay on for the same amount of time that they do after closing the doors and, then, they will shut off. To close the hatch, just pull up on the handle that you use to open it. Excellent and simple!!
