Problem with my 2004 chevy cavalier
2.3 four cylinder engine
tech = jk
question = interior light comes on by itself anytime after it goes off
when doors are closed, and othertimes wont go off at all when doors
close. have to restart car, shut down and then light slowly dims to off,
then it may stay off or come on and stay on.
JK:
Interior lights are controlled by the Body Control Module (BCM)
The door jam switches input to the BCM is a door is open or closed.
You may have a door jam switch that is sticking or coroded, causing the
lights to do this, or a BCM acting up.
Remove the door jam switches and inspect. Disconnecting the switches
should cause the lights to go out.
Testing electrical circuits is a very important part of vehicle
diagnostics in todays cars and trucks. Most all systems on todays
vehicles are electronically and computer controlled
