(reported on)

Explorer V8

  • Automatic transmission
  • 78,000 miles

The interior lights on our Exlorer do not turn on when opening the door or when using the remote to unlock. The lights will turn on about one minute after getting in the vehicle. Haviang this problem checked at the dealer. Their first comment was a sticking door switch, but I do not believe that is the case. I suspect that it is a control unit somewhere.
