In my 2002 2.3L Ranger, I had the same problem with the overhead light staying on too. Take the door panel off the drivers side door. (3 screws- one in bottom of hand hold, one in lower rear corner, and one (torx type) under the plastic cover on the window crank. Lift the plastic panel and remove. Pull back the plastic cover from the door and blow compressed air and or WD-40 on the electrical connection and latch at the rear of the door. Locate by following the wire to the latch. That very well may solve the problem. I solved the same problem simply by soaking everything within reach of the little red tube on my can of WD40, through the openings under the doorhandle.point the spray towards and around the locking mechanism, and keep the moving parts moving as you spray.maybe you'll be lucky.

Air bag light on a 1996 Nissan Pathfinder is flashing constantly on dashboard how do you fix the problem?

I had this happen before and I fixed it myself. Get in your Pathfinder and CLOSE the door. Turn the key on one click to accessory mode so that all of the other lights on the dash are on but do not start the car. Now open your door and push the the button inside your door jamb that turns your interior light on 7 times. Close your door and then turn your key off. Now start the Pathfinder...it should be off. If not, repeat this series a couple of times and it will go off. I have had theis happen twice and this is the correct way to fix the problem.


Why does bathroom light go off when you turn on bedroom light?

That's one I've never seen. Does the bathroom light turn ON when the bedroom light is switched Off? Does the bathroom light switch turn the bathroom light on and off normally when the bedroom light switch is left on? Need to answer these questions, then find where the bathroom light power comes from. It's power supply should either go directly from the power oanel to the bathroom light or to the bathroom light switch. The bathroom light switch merely acts as an interrupter for the hot leg of this power supply.
