What should I do if my 1995 Ford Ranger dome light stays on?

I keep draining the battery in my truck because sometimes the dome light gets stuck on—even if the vehicle is off and the doors are shut. What should I do if my 1995 Ford Ranger dome light stays on?

What a hassle! If the dome light in your 1995
Ford Ranger
is getting stuck on, the most likely culprit is a faulty latch in one of your doors. All you need to do is grab a lubricant such as WD-40, and spray it on the metal components inside your door frames. The latch will loosen up, and your truck should recognize when your doors are shut, causing the dome light to turn off.
If that doesn’t work, you might have a worn out hinge pin in one or more of your doors. If you’re handy, you can buy a new one at any auto parts or hardware store and replace it yourself, or you can bring the vehicle to your local mechanic. Either way, this problem is relatively easy to fix, and shouldn’t cause long-term issues with your vehicle.
