Flashing dome lights!!

[Nick9thomas]

Hey Guys,

Nick here from Atlanta. My 99 Explorer v6 has some sort of malfunction that is making the dome and cargo light flash non-stop. In addition there is a clicking noise that accompanies it as if the blinker is on. I have lubed the door locks as I have read that could be the problem also I bought a new battery because it is 4 years old. Yet no resolution. If you guys could offer some ideas I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Sounds like a defective relay. The wiring diagram shows a relay for the interior lamps; replacing that would be the first thing to do. I'm not sure where that particular relay is - there are relay boxes in the engine compartment, under the dash on the driver's side, and forward in the cargo area access panel on the driver's side.
