2002 blazer lights won't turn off EVEN with the override switch OFF......

My 2002 Chevy blazer has same problem with the dome/interior lights staying on NO MATTER WHAT I do!! Even with the override switch off, the lights won't come on when I open doors, the other times (with override STIIL OFF..) I will be driving and the interiors will come on for NO reason, and I cannot get anything to over ride it EXEPT take the fuse out! The floor lights stay on, along with the domes, the rear (backseat)lights, and the back back by the hatch!! And it's very random, and sporadic ! My stepfather owned car for 8yrs and it's never happened to him, I had it literally 3 DAYS, and it started happening! Any ideas?

One or more of the door switches are malfunctioning

  • Anonymous Aug 28, 2012

    That's what we were thinking...I also wanna mention, since I see some people are saying the battery will eventually shut everything down after 20 min. That's supposed to happen, and NOPE, that doesn't do it neither!! My lights have stayed on for 5 hrs straight from time I got home, till time I went bk out tommy car later that day, so it even overrides the battery saver!!! But thank you , we will check that out

SOURCE: dome light wont turn off

some times the door switch can be faulty. and it may be coincidence that the interior switch is faulty too. i have owned alot of S- series trucks and a few of them have done this to me. you need to individually check each door for switch contact

SOURCE: interior dome light stays on when driving.

Sounds like the dome light has been turned on using the switch on the dash. Most of the time the dash dimmer switch is set up so that if the dimmer is in the maximum position, the dome light can be turned on. If the dome light has been turned on like this, it still will turn off after some time to save your battery. Then when you unlock the door with the remote, it goes back to the same state it was when it was left in - "ON". Check for this switch on the dash, and roll it to get it off of the "ON" position.

on your interior light switch (dimmer switch) just get in the vehicle close doors and turn the dimmer switch and that should do it

SOURCE: dome lights won't turn off

Been having a problem with the dome lights on a 99 chevy blazer. Still can't figure out what the problem is. There is a dome light overide button located under the dimmer wheel. When I push the overide button in the dome light goes off, but when I open any of the doors the dome light will not come on. When the overide button is out the dome light stays on all the time and will not turn off even though every door is closed. I checked all the pushbuttons and everything tests good. Has anyone had this problem and know how to fix it?

Why wont interior lights will not turn off on toyota highlander

If your interior lights are not turning off, you probably have the override switch turned on. This is located in front headliner area and has a light icon on it. This switch forces the interior lights on, even when all of your doors are shut, or if you are driving.

2002 chevy blazer interior lites stay on when door is closed

door jam switch is faulty or dome light switch was left in on position. If you adjust the bright/dim switch, (the one that dims your radio lights),all the way down it should shut them off regardless.

2004 chevy impala review mirror lights won't go off

Those should be map lights and there should be a switch for them.
On some cars you can program the interior light control to turn them on with the dome light.
Check your owners manual.

My interior lights stay on even with the doors closed and the dome override button won't turn them off either

This is a short on the dome lamp assembly. It is possible that the ground wire from the dome to switches is short.
remove assembly and check.

Dome light won't work exept by the override switch-sometimes

I seem to be having the exact opposite problem. I have a 99 chevy blazer and the dome light will not turn off unless I push the override button in. The radio does turn off as soon as I turn off the ignition key. If I leave the dome override button out, the dome light will constantly stay on even while I am driving. It used to work fine. Every now and them it starts working properly, but it hasn't worked right for a long time now. I tested all the switches and they all seem ok. They rear hatch is also closed. Does anyone know what the problem can be and how to fix it?
