interior lights stay on on 95 DeVille

[bbrownbs]

The interior lights on my 95 DeVille stay on after the door is closed more than one-half of the time. The only way to turn them off is to repeatedly open and close the driver's left front door. Any thoughts what I need to check?

Took suggestion of bigdog1279 and sprayed latch with WD40, opening and closing door 10 times. This morning everything was totally dead and I had to attached a battery charger. Any ideas where the short may be coming from?

sorry
i have to do that to my Continental all the time
dont know why that would do that to you caddy Man
um shoot um if the lights are staying on and the light would not go out that would be the problem i would think
the light are just to mouch and deaining the batter out if my sugestion didnt work
the one thing i think you could do untill you could realy figure out what the problem is is
pull the fuse for the interrior lights
not shur how that work
For the Caddys
but on the Continetal
when i pulled the fuse over a year ago
it stoped batter from draining but also when you turn your light on exterrior at night your headlight they will still work but
light on you radio wont realy show up realy bright they will be dim interrior light
but that the way i can tell you for now to keep batter from deaining untill you find out whta rong Man
