Last night I went to install the new dome light I purchased as there was only the wiring from the previous owner. After installation, the dome light worked as intended...on when doors open, off when closed.
However, after opening and closing the door a few times, the dome light stays on permanently even after I close the doors.
All my other courtesy lights stayed on as well...I have one on each side just under the dash and one in the center console under shifter. If I remove the dome light bulb, the other courtesy lights work as intended.
When I put the dome light bulb back in, they all stay on permanently. I checked to ensure the positive and negative are not touching on the dome light assembly, checked the headlight switch is not to the on position for the courtesy lights. Any ideas what could be causing this??
One note, I do have LED bulbs on all the other courtesy lights, and for now I was using the incandescent bulb that came with the kit. Could that be the cause? mixing led and incandescent? If not, next step is to check the wiring to the dome light.
I am not very good with wiring so I don't know what to look for.
