Sticky Door Switch
Has anybody ever had the driver's door switch (the one that controls the dome light) stick in the closed position?
The other day, I was driving around for a bit, and when I got home, I jumped out of the truck and started walking towards the house. I glanced back and saw that my headlights were still on. I went back and re-opened the driver's door, and the headlights turned off. (We always leave the headlight switch on... when the truck is turned off and the driver's door is opened, the headlights shut off.)
Now, the switch sticking wouldn't be a problem at night, when the headlights are easily visible, but I'm thinking that if that ever happens during the day and I don't notice, I'll be coming out to a dead battery.
Should I just look at changing the switch out? I wonder if there are any contacts that I can access to clean instead. I should have time to take a look on sunday, but just wondering if this has happened to anybody else.
