[QUOTE="KCSAse98gt, post: 1553282, member: 24338"] Having issues with my dome light and alarm in my '98 Mustang GT. It's been sitting for several years, but after a state trooper smashed into my wife's car it is now my daily driver until it gets fixed lol. Anyways, I got a new battery and it started right up. After a day or so my dome light just randomly turned on and wouldn't shut off. After messing with the ground wire going to the battery it shut off for awhile but then turned back on. Yes the headlight is turned so the light shouldn't be on and there is no door chime. I tried wd40 on the door jambs, didn't help. I have now replaced the door jamb switches, and replaced the ground wire on the battery going down underneath the car. Still hasn't fixed the issue and I'm at a loss of what to do next. This issue also seems to be causing an alarm issue. My car started alarming at 2 am. It was the first night I left it sitting in my driveway and I really thought someone was trying to steal it. I ran out in my boxers with my sig lol. Didn't see anyone, but then a couple days later it started alarming again randomly in my driveway in the middle of the day and I was outside and there was nobody around. So now I just keep nothing in the car and leave it unlocked. Anybody else have something similar happen and have a fix? [/QUOTE]
