Jeep Wrangler Forum : “how do you turn off interior lights off”

i think there is a little plug or attachment you can get to push the button in on the door jam when you take the doors out. It's just a tiny little sensor on the door jam that when pushed in shuts off the interior lights.

At 4wd.com you can buy a pair of springs that fit over the door light button for $9.95. I've got them and they work fine. Just remember to remove them before reinstalling the doors or it's a trip to the dealer for new switches.

Pull the fuse,  Lower right hand corner of the fuse panel.  It only effects the dome lights and the reminder beep for the headlights.

Thanks so much for this.  I had been using the clips without any trouble and then one day, the drvier's side wouldn't stay down.  As a girl, I didn't even know there was a fuse panel.  I did what you said and problem solved.  Thanks.

Gotta love girls who drive Wranglers! BTW, when guys driving Wranglers or CJs wave at you in your Wrangler, it's OK to wave back. Most Jeep-driving girls don't get this. You're in a club. It's a Jeep thing.

On my wrangler,  when I unplug the electrical chord that controls the automatic windows, so that I can remove the doors, it also turns off the interior light.

If your jeep is a TJ then go into the fuse box behind the glove box and pull the fuse number 4

I actually came up with a slick solution to this. I wired in a two way switch that connected to the door sensors. And I mounted it to the back of my shift boot so it's out of sight. Any time I take off the dorrs I just have to reach down and flip the switch on to over ride the door sensors. Way better than having to keep track of a couple screw on adapters or yanking a fuse

my husband has a TJ,and it has tha same issue,..he does touch something on the fuse but he got pulled over one night by a police to remind him that his running lights were not working,....I don't know what jeep did to the newer models,I got a n 07 Rubicon and it doesn't have that issue.

you are right there bro.,most people specially the girls don't know that! I guess they just happen to own a jeep...they are snobs!!! if one has a Jeep it's like you automatically become a follower of the JEEP CULT.... it's like the fraternity of jeepers....I guess to those jeep owners that really do something with their jeep,...To have Fun OUT THERE!
