All interior lights will not go out after all doors are closed and vehicle is started. As you begin driving, there is no way to turn them off. They eventually went off. Sometimes the lights will go on by themselves. In all cases the 'door open' light shows on the dashboard, but after opening and closing all doors, tailgate and tailgate window the lights "door open" light remains on, and interior lights will not go out.
1998 Ford Expedition lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
1998 ford expedition after reviewing all the complaints listed I realized I had experience similar ones for instance spark plug blew out in dec/02. In aug./03 the tie rod broke. We have had trouble with 4x4 working or in this case not. When switched in while lifted on a hoist it registers, but when on the ground it doesn't work. Something to do with the weight. Also the door locks no longer work, something to do with a sensor. Interior light stays on in hot weather. And the list goes on.
When steering wheel is tilted to lowest position turn signals fail to operate.
I own a 1998 ford expedition, when it rains all the interior lights stay on,the panel is saying door ajar(when in fact there is no door ajar).therfore all interior lights stay on as if there were a door ajar. I find this very dangerous to drive with all the interior lights on expecially at night.ford told me it was a faulty switch.I ve spoken with other people with the same issue.also 128 ford sold me this vehicle with a recall that was never checked. They never did a safety check as they stated. When I picked up the vehicle it was never moved from the spot where I left it, and they never put a inspection sticker on the vehicle and never looked it over.
