There are no lights. their just reflectors.
I experienced this problem when I first brought my used '98 Expy home. I searched Ford Forums and found that the latches seem to get stuck in either of the doors (i.e. drivers. passenger and hatch) I sprayed W40 on the inside opening of the door latches and in the actual latch itself and slammed my door several times and to my delight, the lights went out (interior and running board as well.

You probably have a door sensor out, they detect whether or not the doors are closed, so the car thinks a door is open. It is a little button that gets pushed in by the front of the door by the hinges. They are cheap and easy to replace.
Companies in Houston that specialize in interior glass doors include: Houston Showroom, Masonite, the Sliding Door Company, Thomas Net, Bison Building and Merchant Circle.
I have a 2002 Accord and the dome light, interior courtesy lights on the doors, and the map lights stopped working. They all work off one fuse and it was blown. I replaced the fuse for 93 cents and fixed the problem. . Before you worry about your fuse, i would check your doorpin! open all of the doors one by one and push the door pin all of the way in....sometimes you need to adjust the door latch
Well if you mean the interior lights they automatically switch off when you lock the car doors, if you mean your headlights the dial which turns the headlights on and to park also pulls out and pushes in so you may have it out??
If the interior lights do not come on it could be because the bulbs burned out. It can also be because the fuse blew out as well.
I believe if you turn your gauge panel dimmer switch all the way it turns on the interior lights when all the doors are closed
Press dome override button 3 or 4 times till you here a beep to put headlights and interior lights back on auto
Check switches on doors for proper operation. they are usually adjustable.
In the upper console above the windshield where the two lights are located there is a rocker switch giving the option of On, Off and with Doors.
Have you inspected all doors to see in the door sensor is being depressed when door is closed?
Mainly two reasons - the bulb is not working - the fuse is not working
Check all the door and light switches, they are turned on by twisting the light switch to the left, also the pin switches on the doors will activate the cabin lights.
If the interior lights in a vehicle will not go off, first one should make sure all doors are closed. Then one should find the switch on the roof of the vehicle and make sure it is not turned to the on position.
You don't say what year of Ford Explorer but on some years you can rotate the guage panel dimmer switch until none of the interior lights will come on if any doors or the liftgate is opened
did you check the bulb if it is not that it could be the plunger on the door jam is just stuck or bad If so equiped, you have a switch in your overhead switch group that disables the interior lights until you enable them again.
locate the fuse to the interior lights and remove it. On our 98 Explorer you turn the dash light adjustment switch off, next to the headlight switch.
