Check for moisture under the interior carpeting.
I have see it cause this when the wiring gets wet on the connections from the door switches. Other wise you are going to have to get a meter and check all the wiring to each door and the lamp switch.

On a Dodge when you have a problem with the anti-lock brake system or the hydraulic brake system it turns both lights on. You need to have your truck inspected to find out which one has the problem.

SOURCE: audi a4 1.8t windows, interior light wing mirrors not working

Folks, Just found my problem ...... There's a flexible conduit (corrugated rubber sleeve) between the driver's door and the door arch which contains the wiring loom for the drivers door central locking/door speaker/electric windows/mirrors etc....discovered when I slipped off the sleeve that 4 cables in the wiring loom had broken due to repeated flexing when drivers door was opened/closed over the years (2001 Audi A4). Resoldered broken wires and insulated same....now working better than ever again ...ie dashboard back lighting seems brighter than it had been for some time? Also drivers door loudspeaker is back in action again (hadn't noticed that it had gone).
It's kinda difficult to reseat the rubber sleeving correctly after the repair job...will probably use some silicone sealant on the sleeve to ensure that there is no water ingress to wiring loom afterwards. I'm not too impressed with Audi design people after that, should have used cable that has a better flexibility rating (esp on drivers door!).

Paul.

SOURCE: thermostat

go to an autozone store, or similar auto parts store and they will show you exactly where it is and have a replacement you can purchase.

If you want to look yourself:
Check the hose from the radiator on the passenger side of the engine. It is in the housing where it meets the engine. facing the engine,it is on the lower part of the block,passenger side.

Interior lights wont go out

Check for a faulty switch inside the door jam. If the switch is broken or pushed into the holder, it will not open the circuit thus the light will stay on. You may have to remove the bulb until you have time to replce the switch. Good luck

Interior lights stays on

have you checked your interior light switch to make sure it's off? if so then check your door panels to make sure that your door switch plunger is'nt stuck. look at door jams wher the hinges are for a small button like switch that pushes in and out. you may have to spray a little wd40 on those so they don't stick if you find one stuck.those are usually the culprit when lights stay on, so check allthose, each door, one by one.

Interior lights remain on after doors are closed causing battery to drain overnight. When fuse is removed lights go of and battery stays charged.

Check to be sure interior lights are turn off when you are in the vehical.If so check the interior light switches on the doors for proper opperation.

Came home tonight, interior lights on 92 Ford Explorer. All doors shut, light switch in off mode. Any suggestions to get them off.

Likely, the plunger style switches that are in the door jam near the door hinge has lost it's lock nut and fallen into the body of the truck. The plunger would then be allow to stay extended allowing the interior to stay on.

Check for the plungers inside the door jam of all the doors, as well as the rear hatch.

Door ajar and interior lights stay on constantly

The switch that tells the computer that the door is closed is broken or has a loose wire.This causes the computer to think the door is open thus the door ajar and interior light on.Switch should be located on door jam.

Dome light

Might sound funny but check the rheostat knob that dims the interior lights, sounds like its set to always on. Check the dome light too, some have always on and on when door is open settings.
