Dome Light Question??
Hi all, I got into my car tonight and my dome light would not work. It wouldnt work with the button by the sunroof or by either door. All the other lights work fine in my car. Occasionally some random lights go out but nothing major and not that often. I have a 3 pack of bulbs and tried a new one, that wasnt the fix. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Re: Dome Light Question??
Thats weird, the dome light switch (room, door) gets power from 2 seperate sources, fuse #25 and the time control module. They also share a ground with the spots, so the ground is good.
Try turning on the ignition and headlights, and pressing the "door" switch with the doors open. Ive been eyeballing the wiring diagram and the only thing I can suggest is to remove the dome light cover and manually check for voltage across the terminals. You might have to remove the dome light assy if there isnt any, and look for a loose or broken connection.

Try another new bulb. I put a new one in there and it turned out to be bad.

Re: Dome Light Question??
just because it's NEW doesn't mean it's GOOD
I replaced the OLD BROKEN, end came off, with a GOOD USED bulb from a nissan maxima wagon cargo bin lamp, remembering what it came from as I type is sweet!
