My 99 F-250SD's interior light comes on at will. When I bought the truck
(used) the interior light and I am assuming cargo lights were removed. I
connected the interior light and now it will just come on while I am driving
or sitting parked. I can here a click in the dash when it turns on.

Is this a known problem or just some thing broke on my truck? Is there a
relay in the dash or is it just the dash switch I hear clicking when the
lights come on.

Thanks for any input.

Jimmy

Spray the hell out of the door latch w/ WD 40 and all will be well.
That's where the switch (now stuck) is located.
This problem is posted on this group every other day....

In my 97 Ranger, the first time it was caused by a bad GEM module. The
wipers came on too, so it was easy to tell that it wasn't just a door
switch. The second time it was just a switch.

I think that clicking might be from a module near the steering column,
under the dash. It generates a clicking for the turn signals. It also
generates a buzz for keys in the ignition. Mine buzzes for sometime for no
reason.

F.Y.I., don't disconnect the module. Your turn signals won't work.
