I have an overhead dome in the front seat where switches can be used to turn these off (I think these may be also associated with my headlights which I can turn off). However I have a rear dome light with no switch on it that will not turn off when the rear door or window hatch is open. My friends and I go to the drive in occasionally and my car is ideal to use because of the size, but people get pretty pissed off if you're in front of them with your interiors on. Let me know if anyone knows the answer. I have been looking online and have not had any luck. Could not find my car manual either. Thanks: )

I had the same problem -- you have to remove the bulb (The cover should just pop off and you can leave it off). Don't remove the fuse, because that thing is for alot more than the dome lights. Hope this helps!

I have a 94 Explorer XLT and I just went out to see if I could get my interior lights off while my back was open and I can't figure it out. I know I have a model 3 yrs older, but I thought I would try anyway. Try calling a dealer and talking to someone there. They maybe able to help ya. Sorry I couldn't help. Good Luck!

Most fords have a switch in the middle of light console (above the windshield) that allows you to turn the lights off, on, or set to turn on when you open the doors.
It might be hiding somewhere else - you might check with Ford.

Back in my Drive-in days. We would make up a metal plate and drill a hole in it. We would drill another hole, next to the door switch and attach the plate with a sheet metal screw. Then when we went to the drive-in, all you had to do was slide the metal plate over the door switch and it would hold it in and not allow the lights to come on. good luck.
