I have an '04 Mustang v6 (40th Anniv Edition) with the dome (not the map) light stuck on. This is the light that come on when a door is opened and should turn off a few seconds after the door closes.
The first thing I wanted to check is the door switch, but I can't find it. Does anyone know where it is or how the door actuates the light?
Thanks for any help.
First I've seen complaint of this on a Mustang, Ford has used a Switch assy on latch to operate entry lites WD40 with tube on... spray liberally into and past door lock mechanism. Work latch many times.
Please report back.

Well, it didn't work because the door switch wasn't the problem.
My wife (it's her car) had the headlight/dash switch turned fully counter-clockwise, which turns on the dome light permantly.
At least now the door locks are well lubricated.
Thanks for the suggestion BackYard.

Groan.... not the FIRST time the OBVIOUS has been overlooked for this problem.
My fault more than yours, and for that reason!
The first thing I would check is the bulb. Always start with the simple stuff.
