I wouldn't think that just having the doors open would be too hard on your battery, but I would like to know where the door buttons are because apperently on of mine isn't working because the door ajar light is on all the time.
 






Just look in the door where it meets the body. There is a little pin lookin thing that sticks out that you can push in and out...Sorry I can't think of the exact location at this time but you'll find it.
 






pull the fuse instead.

just an FYI, on my '96, the dome/door light, rear wiper motor, windows, speedometer and odometer are all on the same fuse. Don't forget to put it back in ;)

Just turn the interior light dimmer switch off (all the way down). This will turn off the dome light and enable you to leave your doors open with no battery drain.
 






That's better !!!¸

Thanks GEARZ!!!
 






Note: My Limited has battery run down protection and turns off the dome lights after 15 minutes or something like that. Your truck may be so equipped.
 






I dont have a 15 minutes protection on mine...I know...... :nono:

Had to be boost last time! :fire:

Thanks

My 02 has the switch built into the latching mechinisim. A quick shot of contact cleaner into all of the doors mechinisim took care of my problem.

Strange, you'd think newer X's would have it. Because my 96 has that battery feature.

my '96 has the "leave your lights on for too long and you'll wind up with a dead battery" feature ;)
