Default Dome light '99 Merc Sable - 11-27-2006 , 08:38 PM






Dome light will not go out when doors closed ... pulled bulb to get through
the night. Also notice that the dash light for the passive security system
stays lit (slight pulse in intensity) when the doors are locked ... it use
to "blink" Possible causes and fix ... thanks

I assume that you don't have the dash lite switch turning the dome
lite on or the switches at the dome lite in the on position.

Open each door and manually press the door switches in to find if
that's the problem.

Manual switch on dash (part of dimmer function for dash) does not override
the door switch ... and they appear to be part of the latch assembly and not
visible ... I'll check better in the daylight this weekend

Sure it does. It will turn on the light when the door switch is off or
the door is closed.
