How do I fix a 2008 Ford Focus dome light that stays on?

I have a 2008 Ford Focus. I’ve recently run into an issue where the dome light isn’t working quite right. Every time I close the door, the light stays on, so I’ve just been disconnecting the battery. Is there a way to fix this?

The 2008 Ford Focus dome light staying on is a common problem, but one that’s easy to fix. It usually stems from one of two issues:
  1. The roller for your dashboard lights is turned all the way up. When you roll this to the top, it automatically keeps your dome light on. To fix it, just roll the dial back down.
  2. You just need to replace the F9 fuse. Sometimes pulling it out and reinstalling it will fix the issue.
A dome light is an easy problem to fix, but expensive insurance may seem inevitable. That is, until you get help from the

Does Paying Off Your Car Lower Your Insurance?

Paying off your car doesn’t necessarily mean lower insurance prices, although you may be able to make changes to your policy that could lower your rates.

How much does a used Jeep cost?
I’m finally in a financial place where a Jeep Wrangler is within my grasp (woohoo!). Currently, I’m only able to afford used models, though. How much does a used Jeep generally go for?

If am suspended from driving for a medical reason, should I let my car insurance company know?
I had a seizure and won't be able to drive my vehicle for 90 days due to medical reasons. Should I let my car insurance company know? I'm worried they will cancel my policy or change my rates.

Can I continue with an insurance claim after an accident if I sell my car?
I was in an accident and the car suffered some damage. I immediately filed a claim to get money for the repairs. However, my friend needs a car and is fairly handy with DIY mechanical repairs. Can I continue with the claim even after I sell my car to my friend?
