Dome Light Question?
So my dome light doesn't work.
Even though i've replaced the fuse and the bulb.
Is there an easy fix? Or is it the wiring?
When should the dome light come on?
When the doors or hatch is open right?

Re: Dome Light Question?
not sure about the hatch, i cut that stuff out when i put subs in
the dome light works off the acc. fuse, which usually blows thanks to the cigarette lighter shorting it out. leave the cig lighter out of the socket, put a new fuse in and see if it works.
the circuit is operated by a ground from either door pin and the headlight switch turned all the way counter clockwise. check the wires on the door pin, they can break or pull off. then test with a test light to see if they get a ground when the door is open.
maybe it's simple like a burned out bulb, but overall it's pretty simple.
