Electrical problem
1996 Mercury Marquis V8 Wheel Drive Type unknown Automatic 210000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
I recently replaced a fuse that burnt out and ever since the interior light will not go off at all.
I have pressed the switch that you would normally press to make them go off and waited a minute or two and then press it again.
I have looked for a switch on the door but can't find any, maybe they are built into the locking mechanism?
I have checked all other fuses, thinking there may have been one that controlled a timing module of some sort(shrug, I know very little of car electrical systems, or anything else really).
The lights that stay on are the two above the back seat and the dome light. The others stay off since they are switch controlled.
The lights stay on while driving, no door ajar light is on and there is a keyless entry pad on the drivers side door.
Any help is appreciated greatly!
{EDIT} Forgot to say, the lights stay on when I put the fuse in, kind of obvious I suppose, but thought I'd add it anyway. I just taken the fuse out until I can get this resolved, we can still use the car we just have to unlock the doors with a key or from the inside manually.
