The likeliest answer is that the dimmer switch (the one that controls the brightness of the dash lights at night) was accidentally moved up to it's highest position, when it is set there the interior lights come on. Try moving it down to a lower position and see if that fixes it. If not the switch at one of the doors is broken and thinks it is always on.
A failed switch is a common cause.
I had a similar problem in a taurus. I had to replace the alternator.
Your charging system has failed, probably the alternator.
A bad relay switch could be the culprit if dash lights remain on after engine starts in a Toyota. Cold weather can also cause these lights to stay on after the engine starts.
coil plug would cause the problem sometimes or could be other things
This may be of use have you checked tht the wiring and fuses are in sound condition
I'd check the alternator. It might have a problem maintaining brush contact at high speed.
Check your fuse block or trace the ground wire and make sure it is securely attached to the frame.
what will cause a Ford Taurus 1998 24 valve to overheat
There are several things that can cause your 2002 Ford Taurus to hesitate when accelerating. A dirty air filter will cause the problem.
Umm, cause the switch is on? Seriously, need more information. During the day? Your daytime sensor on the dash could be dead.
Check the brake switch located on your brake pedal shaft. May have to be replaced.
