I am having a problem with my dome light staying on or coming on while I am driving. This doesn't happen all the time but seems to malfunction in spurts. I will be driving down the road and the dome light will come on. All the doors are closed and locked so I try to adjust the dimmer switch and turn off the dome light but the floor lights are still on. This really messes me up when I am driving at night. I took it to my mechanic and he had to unhook the battery because the light wouldn't turn off. When he hooked the battery back up the dome light worked like a charm so I never could get it fixed.
