Dome light, goes off when running, stays on when not
2002 Jeep Liberty 3.7 4wd sport.
I have a severe issue. My wife came in the other day and handed me one of the what they call rear window strut. It rusted out like they have in the past.It makes the rear window pop up that is above the tailgate. I am not sure if this has anything to do with my current problem with my dome lights. Now my dome lights front and rear stay on. I have checked the dimmer ect.. Get this, they go out when I start the car and go back on when i stop it. As far as i know, there is no wiring that goes to the rear window that pops up? I dont think its any of the contacts on the other doors. I cant see anything wrong with the tailgate or window contact when i close them. I am Losing my mind. Anyone with and idea, please let me know. Someone had the same problem on a previous thread but no answer was given and it was very old.
