Check the door switches first. Then make sure the light isn't turned on either at the bulb or at the dashboard switch. Many vehicles eventually turn off the dome light, even if it's turned on by the driver, to save the battery.Note: If the door switch contact failed, it would fail in an "open" state, and the light would not come on when the door opened. If the door switch was jumpered (bypassed), or the plunger on the switch is not making contact with the door, the light would stay on when the ignition is on and then time out after the ignition is turned off. But, The most common mistake is to accidentally leave the headlight switch in the manual dome mode (having the knob fully rotated to the left, or, counterclockwise), then the light stays on while driving and will time out after the ignition is turned off to prevent the battery from running fully down.
Why does the battery and parking brake light stay on dim when the car is turned off?
It's possible that you have a bad ignition switch. Normally, those lights won't turn on unless the ignition is turned to the "Run" position. A bad switch may be allowing current to flow through one or more contacts when it's not supposed to.
Why does a light switch get hot when turned on?
A light switch can get hot when turned on because of the flow of electricity through the switch. This flow of electricity causes resistance in the switch, which generates heat as a byproduct.

There is a switch on the end cap of the light switch stalk. Pull this cap straigt out after the lights are turned on only. There should be a small light that comes on in the upper right corner of the instrument panel. Turn the driving lights off by pushing in on the end cap that you pulled out. Also, if you turn the ignition off before turning off your lights, the headlights will remain on for about 30 seconds or so after the light switch is turned to the off position.
Please explain the charging circuit in automobile. 1. How does the charging light comes on when ignition switch is turned on 2. How charging light comes on when alternator is not or less charging?
When the ignition is turned on, battery voltage passes down the wire to the alternator to 'excite' the alternator when the engine starts. When the engine starts and the alternator generates a voltage, the light is extinguised by the charging voltage cancelling out the battery voltage coming down the wire. If and when the alternator completetly fails the the light will come back on as there is no sancelling voltage. if the alternator produces a voltage lower than the voltage from the ignition switch then the battery light will glow.
