1973 Coupe DeVille courtesy lights wont shut off

[thevinylking69]

The courtesy lights on my two doors and the 2 in the back wont turn off when the doors close so i had to disconnect the fuse so my battery wont die. Is this a switch or a short? Could someone please let me know, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Sounds like a short. Check the cigar lighters for any metal objects in them. Also, check for any blown fuses. Seems I remeber a "body" fuse when blown could cause this issue.

I think there is some cigarette foil in one, and a screw in another, i will remove those and see what happens, where would the body fuse be?, in the cabin fuse box? because i replaced all of the fuses in the cabin fuse box.

Thank you very much,

Don’t forget that the headlight switch when turned all the way in one direction (clockwise?) turns on the interior lights.
