1995 Ford Ranger Interior lighting Problems

“The door chime does not shut off or it stays on for a very long time. I took the truck in when it was under warranty and it was fixed for a short time, then the problem started again. It is especially bad on warm days. I noticed this was an issue in NHTSA item numbers: sb 603550 and sb 613399. This problem is distracting and needs to be fixed correctly.”

“I am having a problem with my dome light and door adjar chime. Problem has been repaired twice by Ford dealer and am now having same problem again. Chime and dome light will stay on even though the drivers side door is closed. As for the passenger side, the dome light stays on, even though the door is closed. Had to pull fuse to stop chime noise. Unfortunately, when I do that I have np windshield wipers. Dealer now wants me to pay to have this problem fixed again. …”

“I am an owner of two Ford Ranger pick ups and had owned another Ranger in the past. All t here vehicles have had the same electrical problem door chimes dinging non stop, dome light failure, radio power failure and windshield wipers turning on and off all by themselves without the key being in the ignition.

Returning home from a vacation my 1995 Ford Ranger ex cab xlt 2.3 liter engine. …”

“I have a couple of complaints actually. The two more serious is, 1) there is a constant dinging while im driving, and the dome light stays on constantly, car on or off. The saftey issue is that, how am I to cocentrate on driving while both of these two defects are constantly occuring. 2) my windshield wipers will randomly cut on while driving. This is another big distraction, expecially while trying to concentrate. I also have a couple of other friends with a Ranger different year that these same distracting events occur with thier truck. …”

“I have changed the driver side switch twice and the passenger side once. I feel this is an annoince and a hazard when your dome light and door buzzer come on at random or will not shut off when door is closed. Particulary at night, who can drive safely with the dome light on. I have had several incedences where I have tryed, foolishly, to pull the bulb when the light has come on while driving or would not shut off. Also try to drive down the road with your door buzzer sounding, I have talked to several Ford owners with the same problem and all have said the same thing about their vehicle. …”
