65 Dart. Brake lights and dome light stay ON....Why ??
Disconnect one wire at the brake light switch.........see if the brake lights go out. Likely bad brake light switch. If not trouble in the wiring harness
Dome......START WITH checking the bulb number. It's listed in the service manual. My 67 uses a dual contact bulb, 1004 I believe. THIS BULB is NOT GROUNDED. The shell does not ground the bulb
The dome lights are turned on by grounding the switching wire, that is the functional circuit path is this..........
From a hot feed in the fuse panel..........through the fuse.......power up to one side of the dome light bulb WHICH IS NOT GROUNDED.......the grounding/ switching wire comes down........goes to door switches.......AND BRANCHES OFF ........also to the light switch. Twisting the knob turns it on so check that FIRST.
Then remove the door switches and pull them out far enough you can "clear" the wires. If it still lights, that switching wire is grounded somewhere. START AT the dome socket,
Scientists, technicians, and would be ignore list members: Please do not argue with me about the "functional circuit path." I'm merely following the "road map" down the path that the thing takes. I AM NOT REFERRING TO ELECTRON FLOW OR OTHER points of non-interest
