Key is in ignition. Door is closed. Engine is off.

Dome light stays on and key in ignition warning beeps nonstop. The warning and light should only be on while driver door is open…not closed. Start car beeping stops but dome light stays on. Also, when I activate anti-theft, car beeps twice instead of once.

It’s been happen for past several days now and off and on. Sometimes the problem stops. I’ve removed the dome light bulb for now, but the key in ignition warning still happens as stated above.

Solution anyone?

you got a door or something open, check the passenger door and the trunk maybe even.

I am having the same problem it started last Sunday, in my case it seems to be a bad sensor switch on the drivers side door. So far I have just pulled the interior light fuse, but in my case the warning beep goes off at random driving down the road (I am guessing a short somewhere in the switch).

It's a sticking door switch I'm almost positive. The switch is inside the door latch. Spray WD-40 into the latch and see if that frees the switch.
