Problem with light illuminated while driving with "Door Ajar" light not lit. What to do to get dome light out because it is safety hazard at night?

We had/have that problem with our 99. Never resolved it.

And if I recall pulling the fuse for it had some secondary undesired consequences.

We ended up pulling the bulb on it as an expedience and haven't gotten back to it.

That's a very common problem with the later Rangers. Problem is the door switch that is now part of the latch mechanism, not a button like the old days. Usually just spraying something like WD-40 or electronic cleaner into the latch area will solve the problem. Might take a couple of times, did mine a couple of years ago and never had another problem.

Mac, I'll try WD-49 as soon as it stops raining. Thanks.
