Default Dome light cme on for no reason

Hey guys,

I was driving today, about 3 minutes after I left the house, the dome light came on briefly and turned off, lasted about a second or so. I suspected that it was the hatch not being tight enough, but I didn't see if the door light came on or not.

Can a hatch that's "barely on" trigger this in the middle driving?

Mike

Hum, it shouldn't... because if that were the case, then the "open door" light should come on on your dash, and you said it didn't.

Maybe check the switch on the dome light? Maybe its some weird position

Well, I just want to know that it's not my electrical system going bad because of the HID or the woofer.

So am I probably safe?

nope... would that matter?

I am just afraid that it's me running the HIDs without wiring harness

I asked to see maybe if the door was slightly ajar and just opened a little on the turn.

How'd you wire the HID's?

9006 connector goes to the ballast, and ballast connects to the bulbs. It wouldn't be the case though because I don't think they don't even use the same fuse.

The reason I think it's the hatch was because I used it before I drove out, and closed it pretty light. I was trying to be aware of the lights and it never happened again.

hehe, that's what I did. I am always afraid to slam hard because everything on this car is so darn heavy!

Thanks guys.
