Ok so 2001 4door with dome light problems here , lets see if anyone has some advice for me .
So about a month ago I power washed my rig and After that my dome light was stuck on .
I disconnected the battery to let whatever it was dry and the next day checked all my fuses and hooked the batt back up .
the dome light was still stuck on and I couldn't get the lights off , but the rear passenger would cause it to briefly dim a bit right when closed .
So after searching I went around one by one and unplugged them to see if a certain one unplugged would fix it indicating a bad door sensor , including the gate .
After that didn't work I unplugged the harness to the rear dome in case that was damaged , Obviously this turned off the rear but unfortunately only the rear . this was in the rear pass fender.
Im pretty sure I unplugged the rear gate harness at one point but can't remember now .
So with the dome light still stuck on I removed all the interior trim to expose the wire thinking maybe there was a nick or obvious cut in the wire causing it to ground to the body.
This is where I remembered cutting and welding a bit to the drivers rear fender for my cut and fold bumper not long before all of this started .
It is hard to see in that area but I checked the connections and didn't find obvious damage .
So I got busy with work and some time passed while I had to unhook my battery all the time because I refused to pull the fuse .
Where I'm at Now
Anyway So this week I hook up the Battery to go some where and the dome lights magically seem to operate normally except the passenger rear door does not trigger the dome even after I replaced the sensor .
Id like to try any suggestions before It ends up at the shop
