How do I turn the interior dome lights of my 1991 Jeep Cherokee off after shutting the doors?

Everytime I turn off my car the dome lights stay on. There is a little trick I have to do with the ignition and the key, but it doesn’t always work. The lights will stay on until the battery dies. I have greased all the door locks and latches. I also heard something about the memory fuse for the radio because it also controls the interior lights and locks, but locks are fine and radio is too.

    are the dome lights on when the car is running? if so there is a switch usually part of the dash dimmer control try moving it and see if the dome light goes off. if not is there a 3 position switch on the dome light itself? if so it is in the wrong position. if all else fails remove the bulb. possible door jamb switch failure

    You may need to install a new ignition switch, If they usually go off with your little ignition switch trick, then the problem is in the ignition switch, NOT the door latches. You might try getting a can of WD-40 and put the little red tubular nozzle down ito the ignition switch and ****** some in there. It dissipates water and also lubricates anything that might be sticking.
