Overhead Light?

In my 2000 Explorer the overhead light comes on when a door
is opened. My memory is that when I first purchased the car
new in 2000 that when the door closed the light stayed on
for 10-20 seconds, but I note now that it goes off
immediately. Is my memory faulty about this, or does
something break/wear out that changes that process, or have
I maybe changed some adjustment somehow to bring about this
immediate shutting off of the light.

Enlightenment appreciated.

If the ignition is in the "run" position, the lamp will go out immediately.
If the key isn't turned on, it should remain illuminated for a short time.

Thanks, Jim.

Something must be broken in my Explorer then, since the
light goes out immediately after the door is closed
regardless of whether the key is in the ignition or not, and
regardless of which of the various positions the key is in
while in the ignition switch.

Any other ideas?

Thanks again.
