Ford Explorer: Interior lights acting strangely on a 02 Explorer Eddie Bauer...

Interior lights acting strangely on a 02 Explorer Eddie Bauer...
Hi,
When I get into my 02 Explorer all the interior dome lights remain off
(door open or closed - cannot turn them on with ANY switch inside the
vehicle - front, middle or back). After I drive for a while, if I turn
off the car (key to OFF) the interior lights come on as they should...
switches work normally.
I also noticed that the garage door opener switch (which did work) now
does not activate my door opener...
Has anyone else experienced this?
Is this a preference setting that I missed - or is it a fault?
Thanks,
Kevin O'

Every once and awhile our '02 EB interior lights will not turn on when you
open a door, but never had any problems with the built in homelink garage
door opener.

This is a dumb question, and this doesn't quite fit the behavior you're
talking about, but do you have the dash-light intensity control turned all
the way down? That shuts off the interior lights, but they also wouldn't
come on by turning off the engine...
Do you have an Eddie Bauer or Limited? That's the HomeLink system. I have
two openers programmed into mine, and they've always worked (but with
shorter range than the factory door openers). Other than that, I'd begin
looking for blown fuses.
If it's not a HomeLink, your factory opener may have shifted inside.

Hi,
Yes, it'a an Eddie Bauer, and it's the Homelink system - seems to work
on and off - today it worked, yesterday it did not - distance never
more then twenty-five feet to the garage door opener...
I'm tking it in for 24,000 mile service (oil, tire rotation, etc...)
next week -will have dealer look into it...
Thanks,

Possibly a relay problem.... the easiest way to be absolutely sure would be
with a scan tool capable of active commands and PID monitoring.
Unfortunately, this means finding a decent tech working at a decent
dealership - something the American model is apparently lacking (sorry
folks... I just repeat what I hear...).
One way you might have a chance is to search out a Blue Oval dealer..... the
Blue Oval is awarded to dealerships that accel at customer service....
Oh, yeah..... when you go there for service, you might also go there for
your next purchase. Premium service deserves premium proce.
