Default Dome Light Problem

My 93 is having a problem with the dome lights staying on for 10 minutes or so when I drive the car. When I lock the car (without the remote, on order) they go out after 30 seconds or so. Thanks for any help.

I had this on another part of the forum and think I might get more traffic here.

Maybe the open/close switch in the door is bad.

Sounds like one (or both) of your door ajar switches has gone ****-up. They look like this.



They're available from your Chevy dealer and not difficult to replace. Search the archives. Someone posted how to swap them out WITHOUT removing your door panels.

Don't forget to check the switch located in the rear for the hatch. I have had problems with it causing the issues you are having.
