Question
Just bought a nice clean van, but I can't seem to get the dome lights on with the doors, any door. I can turn them on manually or on the dash. I can't seem to find an over ride button no where. Can you help me?

Answer
You will have to get all the modules in this vehicle tested for codes. Just about everything electrical goes thru one module or mutiple modules. The courtesy lights could be as simple as a stuck door switch, or a module input, or the module itself. With a code check you might be able to narrow the diagnosis down a bit.

If you have the owners manual you might read thru the lighting section, see if there is anything in the book that will help you understand how the courtesy lights are supposed to work.
