why does the dome light stay on

Sounds like the sensor in the door is broken which would explain why the light stays on. Probably a stupid question but there isn't a switch on the light itself to shut it off is there? Also, you could just remove the bulb so the battery stop going dead.

Try turning the car on all doors closed pressing the dome light button then turning off car and press lock These cars will keep the dome light on if the engine is off but the difference is you can't turn The dome lights off without turning the car back on

Just found the solution to this problem which I had myself. The dashboard dimmer wheel scrolls up then clicks into a fully up position. In this position, the dome light stays on even when the car is off and all doors are shut. If you scroll the dimmer wheel down past that clicked position, the dome light will turn off normaly.

My dome light will not turn off when I exit the vehicle and the Ford Taurus 2002 what should I do

Thank you GuruLBJJP for posting! I was completely stumped and yours was the solution! Dashboard light switch moved before the click and dome lighr is off!

to the right of the light controls there will me a thing that goes up and down that controls the brightness of the interior lights, scroll all the way down and lights will shut off.

How do you turn off dome light

Where would the sensor be? Is it that big black round thing on 03 Taurus

THANK YOU!!!! It was the scroll wheel.

I just had to remove the dome and unplug the light. I've had this trouble before and it was associated with the driver's door indicator light saying it was open. Now all four doors and the trunk indicator light is saying that all are open I have a 96 Taurus. Amy solution?

Tried the dimmer control and that didn't work.
