Why don't the interior lights come on in your 2003 Ford Windstar when the doors are opened and only come on when manually turned on?

because Ford put the door switches in the latch itself. over time the switches dry out and stick. a shot of GOOD penetriating oil should do the trick. spray all of the latches then open and close each door/hatch a few times to work the oil into the mechanisum.

1998 ford windstar interior lights will not come on when doors are opened but work when turned on manually engine module or engine computer controls lights and bells where is it and does it need repla?
Under the dash on the drivers side there should be some relays (black square). Check your manual for where the interior light relay is. The problem is most likely the sensor on the sliding door. Good Luck.
Lights on indicator bell goes off when the drivers door is opened and no lights are on?
Most often this is due to an interior light being left on. Often it is the roller switch that controls the dashlight brightness and interior lighting being set to 'interior lights on'.

Why are the interior lights not working on your 1994 Suburban?
AnswerCheck the fuse Check the control switch on dash (if any) labeled with a light bulb symbolMy Interior lights worked when I turned them on manually with the roll switch, but when I set the switch to neutral and placed the auto switch to on, so that when the doors were opened the light should come on, they would not.Answer: The little push switch located on the side of the dash when the door is closed its pressed in by the door, when the door is open the switch springs out and the light comes on. If this switch is bad or has a short (jiggle) interior lights wont work when door is open and dash is set to AUTO. Replace!

What would make running board lights turn on when the door is opened and the key is put in the ignition but turn off once the truck is cranked?
I am not a mechanic, however as an electrician it sounds like the running board lights are wired to the same relay as the interior lights. To check this, simply crank the truck, leave all the exterior lights off, turn on the interior light, then walk around the truck and look at the running board lights. If they are on then turn the interior light off and the parking lights on, check to see if the running board lights come back on. Depending on the make and model of the truck, I could be way off in left field and this info may not apply. uuummmm.....programing?
