Mine has the middle courtesy lights but without the plastic switch (bought it used) what should i do to fix it?
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. UA-cam at times can be your go to guy😊. Thanks again for making this video.
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!
😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣 same…
Same here I just read your comment and just did it😭
Broooooo thank you so much 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought the dome light dial controlled headlight brightness 😅
Thanks for the tip! You have a new subscriber! 🎉
I literally was about to take it to the shop before i read this comment … deadass forgot about the dial😂
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! 😅
Thank you! My lights were on for two weeks! 🤦♀️🥰
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 💯
Went out at 2 am and was Messing with my door latch and got the damn light to turn off finally. Thanks man
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!
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
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 !! 👊 🇨🇦
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👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
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
Where is it located?
I'm so thankful for the internet and helpful UA-cam videos. Mine was the switch next to the steering wheel, I would have never guessed that. Thank you!!
This video just saved me a couple hours of time and a visit to a mechanic. 👍 Thanks!
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.
GREAT TUTORIAL! And presented in a professional, understandable manner. Thanks!

@@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)
Thank you,
Solved my issue with the light thanks to your video, it was getting annoyed already.
One of the best technicians online great info.
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.
The funny thing is I just copied you slamming the doors shut a bunch and it worked so my life is fixed, but I will absolutely be back in a month when it gets messed up again. Thanks
So happy you placed this video here... thank you!!
I took two of my door panels apart just to figure out I had the dial turned. Thank you
Finally someone that goes into detail! Everyone just talks about the dimmer. I have to try these out!
+@outof_sarahtonin Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
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?
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
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.
Oh man you just saved me an embarrassing trip to the mechanic. Legend thanks!
Great video, concise and to the point !
Thank you so much!!! Didn’t even know there was a dome light on position on the roller switch 🎉😂
Great job!!! You covered a lot of possibilities and why thanks!!!
Bro thanks this video helped within seconds 😂 good job thx
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
Dome light switch was in the on position. Thank you for your video.
Thank you sooo much!! We were stressin! We watched 1 minute of your video and BOOM problem solved!
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! 😂
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.
Omg I’m a first time car owner,I was so frustrated. Turns out it was my dimmer knob 😭 you are a life saver sir!!!

Sticky door latch mechanism will cause the latch to not fully rotate and not engage the micro switch on the latch. Using WD-40 and some maintenance lubricating the latch and the hinges is supposed to be routinely done. If your hinges are good and door alignment is good, it’s likely do to lack of lubrication on the latch inside the door. Try some WD-40 on the latch cam a lubricate the latch assembly and see what happens. Notice when he rotated the latch cam with a screw driver, the light went out. In the Ford truck scenario, it was obvious the hinges were bad but that’s not always the case.
Thank you!! I'm surprised (and embarrassed) that the solution was so simple!
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?
Great video, saved our Christmas! Thanks man.
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.
You articulate very well thanks for your time & help
Nice. you didn't miss anything. in a remarkable time. thanks
Lol mine was the first one and I was about to lose my mind. So helpful thank you
Great clear easy info . Thanks.
Wow i am having same issue were my car don’t have that retractable button so slamming the door fix my light problem 😅 i been having this issue for a very long time excellent video thanks keep those videos coming. you got a new subscriber.
I didn’t even know I had a dimmer till now lol😂Thank you!
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.
After I checked my 2000 Windstar door switches, and backdoor switches failed. Buttons got stuck because of lack of lubricant or grease. sprayed with WD40 and the latches worked like new but there was still a problem. All the interior lights still stay on. I gave up because it was already nighttime. I removed all the bulb lights inside my van that don't turn off to avoid draining my battery. I gathered all my tools and stopped working. After having our dinner, I still don't feel relax because I keep on thinking of what the problem would be. I went to UA-cam and found this A1 Auto Repair tip video. I was enjoying watching the video because the guy has a sense of humor. When it comes to that portion of the dimmer switch next to the headlight switch, I paused the video and grab my Windstar key, ran and opened my garage. I checked the dimmer switch, and it was on the ON position. I put one bulb back inside the dome light then adjust the dimmer and it worked. The light will now turn off when I shut the door. All doors are working and will turn off the dome light. So, I took all light bulbs and put them back. It only took me less than 10 minutes to make it work again. I was working with that for almost 2 hours this afternoon and can't find the problem. Hey A1 auto repair guy, thank you so much for that video. That is why watching A1 repair videos will save you time. Hey, you guys out there having problems with your cars, subscribe like I did. Watch the video, buy the parts from A1, do it yourself and they are right, you save lots of money. I just want to thank you.

Professional and understanding, thank you! This gives me trouble shooting ideas.
Thanks so much, i have a 1985 ford thunderbird and didnt know what the dimer light was for, i thaught it was for the dash, not the big roof light, thanks so much😎
You're a lifesaver bro!
Im so glad this video exists
What a great video. Thank you so much. This was very helpful.
nice informational video upon this issue. I was wondering whether 1A Auto has any videos upon the 07 Audi Q7 3.6L V6 Quattro suv ?
Great job saved my night I remembered I mistakenly hit the switch when opening the trunk
Great, and fun, presentation!
Thank you it was my dimmer..love your video.
It was the dimmer switch for me. Never use it, but I probably turned it all on when cleaning the cabin.
Thank you.
Thanks for this man. I highly appreciate it.
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Very Helpful!! Thank you!!!
What’s your cash app bro . I’ve had my lights on for like a month now thinking my car was broke . After I turned that switch off I fell so stupid lol . Thx brother. Not all heroes wear capes
thanks- i was going crazy trying to figure it out. thought it was a problem with the door latch.
Do you have video of 2003 4runner on how to change Windshield Water Reservoir?
Gotta say this video helped me out appreciate you man
1 week the lights were on, it drained my battery, I paid 100 dls for 2 relays and mechanics $$$/hour etc. etc. after 1 week without a car, 300 dls spent, and then I see this video. I go out to turn my switch off like you said, and WALA!!!!! they're off. I was taking it to an electric mechanic right NOW because there was an electric false contact. Sir a tip of my hat to you (*.*)
Thank you this was so helpful I was losing my mind I tried everything you said and it was one of the last things there's a switch next to the dome light that my kids turned on when I went to get their food
Thank you for your content,it was a big help.
That intro🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry glad you're okay tho
lollll man thanks my semi-truck's light was on since 2 weeks i don't know why, i removed the fuse in order not to drain the battery, but after your video it turned my attention to a button in the dashboard i turned it off and every thing worked perfect loll thanks again.
😂
Helped alot . Thank you
Thanks for this.
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!
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.
Thank You Very Much. Fixed the problem. God Bless
Thank you very much! Just fixed my issue ❤❤❤❤
He just resolved my proble thanks man
Great video thanks for sharing .
Thanks. I love how you explained different scenarios.
It helped me when I went down to my garage and found out my husband didn’t press the light on the car ceiling.
Thank you!!! Maybe saved my life!
