I think it is to let you know it is on so you remember to turn it off. That way it will not kill your battery.

How do you disable automatic headlights on 1999 Chevy Silverado?

If you don't have an owners manual then I would think you would disable them using the light switch. Try pushing the dome light switch twice quickly, you should hear a bell chime. If you hear the chime, then the lights are disabled. Push the dome light twice quickly again, and that should reactivate the lights and you'll hear the chime again. If none of this works, depress the park brake pedal a couple of clicks down, that may work.

How do you make your door chime and your interior light turn on on a '92 Crown Vic Police Interceptor?

First, check that there is a good, working, bulb in the dome light. it sounds like your car has the "Dark Car" option enabled, disable this option by performing the following procedure. 1. Look under the glove box for a blue connector with a single wire going into each side. 2. Pull this connector apart and tie both sides up under the dash. 3. Disconnect the battery negative connection. 4. Leave the battery disconnected from the car for at least 5 minutes. 5. Reconnect the battery to the car. 6. Test by closing the car door then opening it and look at your dome light. Your dome light and the key-in-switch chime should now be enabled.


Why does the dome light in a 1995 ford ranger stay on all the time?

Many rangers have a micro-switch built into the door latch that grounds when the door is shut. If the switches become dirty, they will cause the dome light, chime, and door ajar light to stay on. A few shots of contact cleaner should do them justice.

it is located on the door pillar at the bottom. It is held on by a Phillips screw. If you are replacing it, try to clean the contacts first, that maybe all that's wrong.
