This will avoid draining the battery. To reactivate the interior lamps, do one of the following: Three-Position Dome Lamp The switch on this lamp has three positions. The ON position will turn on the light. The DOOR position will turn on the light whenever a door is opened or when the instrument panel intensity control thumbwheel is moved up.
