Ok, when have my dome light switch set to come on when the door opens and I corner real hard and have my dome light on........The first time it happened I thought one of my doors weren't shut completely. But they were. Anyone have idea where the short would be? The dome light it's self or the door pin? It doesn't happen when the dome light is completely switched off.

nah doesn't really sound like a short. My guess is the door open signal is fuggin up.

 

I'll second that on the switch in the door screwing up. But, first check to make sure that your doors are adjusted properly. The switch on the door might be adjustable, too, but I haven't checked.

 

Sheesh.. I should smack each of you upside the head. Look at this problem from a technical stand point. According to the wiring diagram, the light has power all the time. So the only thing that the doors do is ground the switch, which in essence grounds the circuit and the bulb lights up. So my answer is not that it's shorted and crap. The correct TECHNICAL answer is that you've got a GROUNDED CIRCUIT.. It's the only thing that makes sense. The doors ground the circuit when they're open.. DUHHH.. Now here's the hard part.. Go find the grounded part of the Grounded Circuit..

Oh and by the way.. Here's an example of a short circuit. "I honked my horn and the left window goes down."

mine used to do that too, what i did was add additional cushioning for the switch.. the switch is shaped like an L , i added made the bottom part of the L thicker so the switch would push further in when the door closed
