Dome Light Problems ;p

Black04Sixxer · March 17th, 2011, 08:23 PM

Ok, Im new here, got my first mustang (04 v6), and of course the dome light would not turn off. I tried the dome light switch (turning the knob); nothing, locking the car manually and electronically; nothing, tightly closing all doors (hood and trunk too) still nothing. So I took the bulb out and one of the bezel/holster/socket (whatever you may call it) legs broke off with it. Since i am unable to reposition the lightbulb in the holster I just left it out. Just wondering, will this cause a fire if the battery is not disconnected?

Don't think so unless the wires touched.

Shouldn't cause a fire because the circuit isn't complete and the electricity isn't arcing to anything.

on my 09 next to the headlight switch is a dimmer. If pushed all the way up the inner lights stay on regardless of anything else. If you have that check that. Idk what the inside of a new edge model looks like
