I have a 2005 F150 and the dome light comes on by itself. I have to cut the dashlight dimmer all the way off for it to stay off. I can bump the dash and it goes out, but comes back on. With this I do not have any dash lights at night. It has been in the shop twice for this and not been fixed. I bought extended warranty for these type things and paid a $100 deductible. It is very dangerous to drive at night without dash lights. Any suggestions?
