1996 over head light

Hello today on my neon I noticed after shutting my door that my overhead light didn't turn off like it's supposed to. I'm thinking it's the relay but i'm not sure anyone have any suggestions that it could be other then the relay? Also I've found unpluging the battery seems to turn it off also.

Thanks!

There is a time out relay and a time delay in fuse block on the left side of the dash.

Well I looked into the issue a bit and found out it was just the dash dim was locked I guess I bumped it a bit and locked it. Thanks for the answer though I also posted this question on a dodge forum and got no reply's this forum continues to surprise me that even the slightest issue gets a reply.

I just bought a 96 neon and i noticed that the overhead light doesn't turn on with the door opening but i can turn it on by turning the knob by hand. Is there some way to turn this feature on or am i just unfortunate enough to not have this?

Hello today on my neon I noticed after shutting my door that my overhead hid light kits (http://electronicfiend.com/hid-kits/) didn't turn off like it's supposed to. I'm thinking it's the relay but i'm not sure anyone have any suggestions that it could be other then the relay? Also I've found unpluging the battery seems to turn it off also.

Thanks!

Go with replacing the door jam switches, see if that works.
