Default My dome lights won't turn off
So I went Wheeling last night and my dome lights weren't turning off. I checked all the doors and the back tailgate all of them were closed and they still stayed on so I just unhooked em. The only one I can't get to turn off is the light at the foot of the passenger side. I don't wanna to kill my battery cause no matter what it stays on. What could it be?
