2018 Jeep Compass Interior Lights Wont Turn Off

• #1

Tonight I got in the Jeep and the interior lights wouldn't turn off after I started it and turned the lights on. I messed all around with the light switch including the door switch. I pulled the IOD fuse in the engine compartment and it turned off. I put the fuse back In and went for a drive. By the time I got to the end of my dirt road the lights came back on. I can't get the lights off without removing the fuse. Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas where to start? Any videos on replacing the switch?

Check fuse number 4 behind the glovebox.

I pulled fuse #4 and it looks good. I put it back along with the fuse under the hood. Lights are working the way they should. I'll take it for a drive at a later time and see if it's resolved. Thanks.

Is dimmer switch on turn signal stalk turned all the way? That will turn on overhead light even if keys not in.

I've turned that switch in all the different positions. It appears to working properly now after messing with the fuse. I'll drive it over the next few days and update. Thanks

The light condition killed my battery when I walked away for the night. Lol. I charged up the battery and I noticed the light went off when I closed the door and then flickered back on after a few seconds. I played around with the switch and I'm pretty sure it's bad, my fog light switch is hit and miss. I ordered a new switch so we will see what happens. I have another issue and I'll start a new thread on that.

Update, I had the blinker switch off while I was waiting for the new one to come in. I decided to put the old switch back in to mess around with the door switches as suggested to look at. The switches to me appear to be working. As I sat in the Jeep and closed the door I touched the wire harness at the back of the blinker switch and the lights came on leading me to believe it's a bad wire connector. I've since then replaced the blinker switch and the fog switch now works normally. I looked at the wire connector and noticed it's not in that great of shape. The plastic is coming apart. I took a tool and squeezed some of the pins closer. I put the connector back on and made sure it was in really good. So far it's been fine. We will see what happens. That connector will need to be replaced at some point. Does anyone's know if it's the same part for a 2004 as a 2005 wrangler? I couldn't find one specific for a 2004.
