Door open warning while driving. dome lights at night are awesome!

[samtodd]

So while driving I am getting a door open warning along with dome lights coming on. I believe I have narrowed it down to the drivers door by opening it slightly then turning off dome light. Dome light does not come back on at this point. Im not sure exactly what controls the dome light/door warning so i am looking for some info in that area.. couldnt find much info about this being a common issue?

Thanks!!

There is a rubber "button" where the door meets the chassis. When the door is closed the button is pressed. I suppose that in your case the sensor is stuck or the door is not closing properly and that's why you get the "door open" ajar and dome lights.

When you press on the dome light switch, it will not come back on if other doors (or the same door) opens, until you have taken the key off the ignition. Basically you are telling the car that you don't want that function until the next drive.

well i cant seem to find a button or switch or anything else that activates the dome light which makes me think its some how tied into the latch mechanism possibly.. On my vehicle when the door is opened and the dome light comes on you can press dome button and that temporarily turns off dome light until another door is opened or the door is shut and reopened.

so can someone either help me find the hidden button or help me with how this works??

There. You can see the switch/button inside the striker.



If you want the lights to stay off until you fix the problem: While the door is open, hold the dome light button for 5 seconds. That turn's off the auto dome light. To turn the auto light back on, just press the button once.
