interior lights stuck on

[defectivecyborg]

Hi all, I just got my hands on a '95 ATX that was clearly someone's pretty far along project before getting donated. It's pretty mechanically solid but there's a few electrical gremlins I'm wondering how to address. When I open the door all of the interior lights come on, and only sometimes do they turn off once I start driving. I've tried fiddling with the auto lamp slider below the headlight switch but it doesn't seem to do anything. Could this be a fuse issue?

Those switches have been known to go bad. You can check the fuse but I have replaced more than one light/dimmer switch in these cars.

The interior lights are activated by the switches in the door jambs. One is probably set too far in and not making good contact with the door. Unfortunately they are one time set and not adjustable. You will need to try and figure out which one is bad or replace all four.

When new ones are installed you slowly close the door and the door itself sets where the switch needs to be. After that it's good.
