Best Answer

There are at least three reasons why your dome light may stay on while driving:

  1. Dome lights typically have three settings: (a) on while the doors are closed, to allow the driver to read maps, etc., (b) on while the doors are opened and off while the doors are closed, and (c) off, whether the doors are opened or closed. Check to see whether you've unintentionally left the switch on the a setting.
  2. If you've checked the a setting and if the dome light stays on, you may have a bad switch.
  3. The dimmer wheel, next to the headlight switch, may be turned up. Turn the wheel down to just below the notch.
