When you lock the doors the light on the door locks comes on and stays. If you do not lock the doors it does not come on. Can you tell me the problem please?

Hey SKEETER,

Yes you have an interior lighting module that is in the drivers door has probably gone bad. Try locking the passenger door to see if it does any different. Here is a wiring diagram that shows how the system is laid out.

Here is a guide to help you test.

Please run some tests and get back to us so we can continue helping you.

Best, Ken
