Mine has the middle courtesy lights but without the plastic switch (bought it used) what should i do to fix it?

[@jackie.ortega.marrero]

My toddler pushed every switch he possibly could in a span of 2 minutes… it took me hours and 4 videos before I came across this video here!!! Thank you! 😅

[@ismailsurve252]

I am based in Saudi and I was facing this issue for the past week. I had to disconnect the battery cables to keep the lights switched off. And then I saw this video of yours. What a simple miss. Thank you for this video. It worked. KZbin at times can be your go to guy😊. Thanks again for making this video.

[@siccicey9479]

i turned my dial all the way up and didn’t realize🤦🏻‍♂️ been like that for months even went as far to take the bulb out to save the battery thanks man!

[@jondemetrius]

😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 same…

[@ricardobarahona8824]

Same here I just read your comment and just did it😭

[@Stiiizykarlitosz]

Broooooo thank you so much 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@407Maddi]

I thought the dome light dial controlled headlight brightness 😅 Thanks for the tip! You have a new subscriber! 🎉

[@TY_FTS]

I literally was about to take it to the shop before i read this comment … deadass forgot about the dial😂

[@FreeUrMind63]

My door lights stayed in tonight. I was planning to remove the door panel and replace the latch. I had turned the light dimmer all the way up and didn't notice the switch! Thank you for giving me the solution! So simple!

[@jarmondbaker2561]

Very helpful this is exactly what I needed. I was pulled over by the police and they hit something in my car to where my light wouldn’t turn off. I thought my trunk was open, maybe the hood or the doors even. No it was the dash dimmer switch. Thanks a lot man 💯

[@HelinatheHomeBody]

Thank you! My lights were on for two weeks! 🤦‍♀️🥰

[@mrBongripz]

Went out at 2 am and was Messing with my door latch and got the damn light to turn off finally. Thanks man

[@extensioncord2202]

Literally almost spent $140 to find a fix to my problem when my stupid dimmer was all the way up. This is my first car thank you so much for the help you’re an amazing person

[@tmp-3mtempest79]

Thank you for the video! Had a relative whose vehicle was doing this and I had no idea how to solve it, but this has narrowed down the two most likely fixes.

[@chrislee576]

Thank you for you’re knowledge and sharing it because it sure saved me today when my inside cabin lights wasn’t shutting off . I watched your video and bam fixed my situation. Many thanks !! 👊 🇨🇦

[@littlewarrior62]

THANK YOU! The first 1:10 min solved my issue. I had forgotten that I was fiddling with the dimmer switch while on a call. Distractions and memory capacity... Ugh!

[@stableyetfun]

My 06 F150 dome light wounld't turn off. I checked the door hinges and door switch in the door. Kept draining my battery. Problem was I had turned on the dome light dimmer switch into the on position. Your channel is a lot of help for us automotive challenged guys.

[@WhAtDoYoUmEmE_]

I'm so thankful for the internet and helpful KZbin videos. Mine was the switch next to the steering wheel, I would have never guessed that. Thank you!!

[@steveowen2346]

This video just saved me a couple hours of time and a visit to a mechanic. 👍 Thanks!

[@Kellz11]

Omg! Thank you so much for this video. This happened to me last night and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. The first step was to check that little dash lights switch and that was the problem it was switched all the way on. Such a simple thing but I'm thankful that you posted this video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@charleshammond7921]

Same! I spent three hours messing around with my fuses and checking the wiring and felt like such a fool when the first little thing fixed it immediately

[@TAJATee]

Where is it located?

[@chrisbean9663]

Fantastic advice I found the issue was in the passenger side door once I clicked it all the way back and then clicked it forward the lights doing really good right now so far so good thank you so much for making this video

[@cecilrhodes2618]

You're amazing brother, you fixed my issue in less than 2 minutes! 07 Trailblazers have that rotating dash illumination switch to the left of the steering wheel, and turning it all the way to the right makes a click & keeps the dome lights on. News to me! Now I know.

[@JS-jv6rg]

[@BTunaTTV_YT]

@@1AAuto great tutorial but recently i bought 2 new dome light switches (whole piece with working lights) and one of them only turns light if i flip switch to the "OFF" position Is there a way to fix it and make it turn om with door (the other one works good but having the 2 working good us good if one blows)

[@e.l.romero3380]

Thank you, Solved my issue with the light thanks to your video, it was getting annoyed already.

[@SharonAustin-ce6io]

So happy you placed this video here... thank you!!

[@garyfarm]

Great video, concise and to the point !

[@jeffuhler6158]

Dome light switch was in the on position. Thank you for your video.

[@outof_sarahtonin]

Finally someone that goes into detail! Everyone just talks about the dimmer. I have to try these out!

[@phillyyahudin215]

Great job!!! You covered a lot of possibilities and why thanks!!!

[@fouladimikaol]

Love this I washed my 2001 Ford Excursion clean inside and out and after that the running bord lights and dome stay on. forced me to take fuse #4 out to save the battery. today I see this video and boy when I clean the car I accidently turn the light switch on. Thank you for the video it was wonderful.

[@blakehoward8398]

I took two of my door panels apart just to figure out I had the dial turned. Thank you

[@davekazmdrummer]

Thank you so much!!! Didn’t even know there was a dome light on position on the roller switch 🎉😂

[@karenmorente7589]

Great clear easy info . Thanks.

[@kirstendeem2762]

Thank you sooo much!! We were stressin! We watched 1 minute of your video and BOOM problem solved!

[@TastySnax12]

Thanks for the video bro. Bought a B3000 secondhand with no dome light or fuse, and was wondering why it wouldn't turn off. Luckily I just had the switch turned up all the way lmao.

[@sharonsherman6118]

What if it's the latch inside the door

[@EnderDragonGamerz02]

Professional and understanding, thank you! This gives me trouble shooting ideas.

[@2Tone1418]

Bro thanks this video helped within seconds 😂 good job thx

[@ronside4113]

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!

[@Louielouie_i]

Nice. you didn't miss anything. in a remarkable time. thanks

[@lekrowe3602]

Hello and thanks for the information, what if it stays on even after you check all of the doors, to see of there off track?

[@Upstream2020]

Great video, saved our Christmas! Thanks man.

Oh man you just saved me an embarrassing trip to the mechanic. Legend thanks!

[@amberscott8239]

Ty. My lights killed my battery in a matter of minutes. I tried closing doors, checking inner switches with no luck. I hope the added ideas will fix my problem.

[@mba6164]

oh man, your awesome. I was wondering why the lights not turned off even if I shut the doors. now I got it. thanks man

It was the dimmer switch for me. Never use it, but I probably turned it all on when cleaning the cabin. Thank you.

[@GodfreyByamungu]

Thanks for this man. I highly appreciate it.

[@cimcity]

Lots of great, helpful tips I hadn't thought of. But the best part of this video is the safety cut-away at 3:15. 😂 YT GOLD! 😂

Lol mine was the first one and I was about to lose my mind. So helpful thank you

[@Scotty-Z70]

sunofagun! that was all it was! when i got into my car today i noticed the light wouldn't go off. i tried everything. my knee must have rubbed that wheel when i got in, because thanks to you i found out that was what was wrong. THANKS!

[@pcsforsale579]

You're a lifesaver bro!

[@markschirripa3607]

Thanks for the video. Have you any suggestions for a 2000 Focus whose interior lights will not come on when I open any of the doors?

[@thetoolwallchannel]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ube2slow]

How about a dome light that stays on anywhere from 15 seconds to 1 and a 1/2 minutes before it decides to go off? My 2013 Ford Edge does that every time I get in it now. That along with the warning notification on the dash saying my left rear door is ajar (which its not), is irritating.

[@gotostreaminar]

Great job saved my night I remembered I mistakenly hit the switch when opening the trunk

[@carlchilders9538]

Thank you!! I'm surprised (and embarrassed) that the solution was so simple!

[@jamessimpson5296]

My 2012 Hyundai rear courtesy light is on for way too long- then shuts off by itself. I am checking further, This appears to be an integrated body control computer timer problem. I will look elsewhere- yet, your video is a good first check. Thank You!

[@FreddyDupree]

God bless you good sir, I was about to rip out the car just to change a fuse then I found your video ahh hah! This is the meaning of a true Christmas Miracle.

Thanks broda you made my day i thought i was gonna brake the bank 😁

[@williamverona3768]

Now I'm confused although your tips were helpful it did not fix my issue of the interior dome lights staying on, in my 2003 Acura mdx. Never had issues before. I went out to lock my doors and noticed the dome lights on. Going around the vehicle opening and closing the doors didn't work. So I tried each door switch, including the hatch and it only turned off my door courtesy lights. I pulled the fuse do to no other options.

[@alexsanders7404]

Thank you!!! Maybe saved my life!

Toyota camry 2006 - So the problem in my case was the switch itself, the contact inside of the sliding button was very bad so little bit of sanding with sanding paper and wiping with alcohol based liquid fixed the issue! Thanks for you videos man!
