Third seat dome light

Asked by GuruDZC58Z Dec 02, 2023 at 08:06 PM about the 2016 Ford Explorer Limited

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2016 Ford Explorer an my 3rd seat dome light
will not turn off while driving.. Eventually go off after
car is turn off. But soon as I turn the vehicle on the
light won't go off. I check all light switches in vehicle
an can't figure out the problem. Do anyone have a
answer or a suggestion for this problem

I was going to say rear tailgate door switch but then I see it turns off after a period of time after the engine is shut down so that tells me that there is a problem in the exit protocols of the BCM. Has the rig experienced any voltage problems like a jump start or battery replacement? If so the vehicle might need a "flash" of the computer systems to reset it to factory. As this can only be done at a dealer, so it's not cheap, I would just remove the bulb or do a rewire with it's own switch on or under the dash if you need the light.
