Interior lights wont shut off

[2DR4EVR]

I'm on the road driving up to Austin and I can't get my dome lights to shutoff all of a sudden. Even when parked with the key out.

Is there a fuse for this? I thought it might be 14 for illum but no dice. This will drain my battery obviulsy minus unhooking the thing every time I stop.

Hoping to have a solution by the time i reach Austin for a temporary fix.

Thanks

There should be a dome lamp override button just below the head light switch.
Push that in and turn the ignition to on position and light should go off.

I hope 96 has that switch....there is one on my 97.

If that doesn't work check to make sure all of the door switches haven't broken off

Doh, just thought of this......check the dimmer for the instrument panel lamp next to the head light switch. If it's turned up all the way past the detent, dome lamps are on all the time.

Hopefully that is it so you won't have to go searching for shorted wire some where.
I got my fingers crossed for you.
