What makes the 2009 Ford Focus dome light stay on?

I have a 2009 Ford Focus and the dome light won’t turn off when the door is closed. What makes the 2009 Ford Focus dome light stay on?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
If your 2009 Ford Focus dome light stays on it could be because the courtesy light switch is in the permanently on position or you have a faulty door switch. If you’ve confirmed the courtesy light switch is in the off or door position, follow these steps to check the door switch:
  • Open each door
  • Locate the switch
  • Press the switch closed
You’ll know you’re dealing with a faulty door switch if there is no change to the dome light when you close it. While electrical malfunctions can be a hassle, price comparison shopping for

What Others Are Asking

Is platinum used in electric cars?
I’m interested in buying an electric car because I’m very eco-conscious, and I don’t want to keep polluting every time I get in my car. However, someone told me that electric cars use platinum, and will quickly deplete the world's platinum supplies, which are already rare. This has me worried. Is platinum used in EV electric cars?

How do you turn off the VSA light on a Honda CR-V?
I live in Buffalo, New York. To say we get a lot of snow is an understatement. I got stuck the other day, so I let my dad take over. He was able to get my Honda CR-V SE unstuck without too much hassle. However, afterward, I noticed the VSA light was on. I’m guessing my dad turned off the vehicle stability assist when trying to get unstuck. How can I turn the VSA light off?
