maybe the swith bye the interrior light has a bad connection, or maybe the push switch triggered bye the door opening and closing isn't connecting propperly. either way it sounds just as a bad connection somewhere between the two. Andy

1995 jeep grand Cherokee limited entry lights stay on?

There is a dashboard illumination switch that controls the brightness. If it is pushed up fully, the interior lights will stay on. Lower the switch slightly until the interior lights go off. When doors are closed, if the switch is lowered, the lights should go off after about 30 seconds max, maybe less. Hope this Helps, it did on mine.


Where are the controls for the interior lights on a silverador 3500?

The doors will have switches that control them, the light switch also has control. Depending on the year, the pull knob turns to control dash light intensity and interior lighting. On newer models there is a dial under the switch that does the controling of these lights, on some models there is a button next to the switch that is an override button to stop the lights from going on when the doors open. Let me know if you need more help as I will try my best.
