My dome light constantly stays on. You can take the key out of the ignition at ant position, and sometimes even start the van with no key in it. Everytime i open the back hatch the dome light stays on and kills my battery. I've been through two batteries. The ignition switch feels hot after driving for more than twenty minutes.
