When this malfunction occurs, the interior overhead light remains lit for 5-10 minutes and it cannot be disabled. This is especially problematic during night driving, because it makes it extremely difficult to see the road and surrounding environment while the light is on. The first time the problem occurred, ford cleaned the…

The lights do not go out whatsoever in reverse and makes it very difficult to see at night when in reverse. We have almost hit…

The passenger door ajar warning light comes on when the door is properly shut. This causes the interior lights to stay on until you begin driving the car.

We have since pulled the fuse to eliminate the light problem. I have researched this problem on the…
