The 'dome lights' (I guess that is what you would call the lights built into the rearvew mirror) will not turn off. I had someone tell me that the problem might be a stuck relay...which alos makes it so my alarm will not arm. My question is, is this plausible? Would a a stuck relay make the lights stay on all the time? Where would this relay be located?
I have disconnected the lights for now.
Thanks,
Rico
My Fords dome lights come on when I lift the door handles half ways so they have a switch connected to the handle. My 97 Ranger had a problem with the dome light not turning off and I sprayed WD40 in the latch area where the striker hits. Problem gone. I also don't know what year Ford started putting these switches in Mustangs.
Make sure the dimmer dial on the dash isn't all the way over. It has a "dome on" position that you feel with a little click.

OK, Fred Flintstone had a bird that he pulled on it's tail. :-)
Thanks to everyone who responded to my plea! John had the winning answer..the dimmer switch was the culprit. I now can not only use my 'dome' lights, but my alarm now sets.
Thanks again,
Rico
