Dome Light Question.

Recently my dome light wont come on at all? i checked the bulbs -- good. Now im puzzled.
Before it wouldnt come on when i opened the door, I had to turn it on.
And also my cargo light or whatever you call it doesnt work as well? Could there be a connection to both of them not working or just coincidence?


Thanks for the help.

Have you checked your fuses?

Take a look at your fuse diagram (in your manual) and check for a blown fuse.

Also, there is a sensor in your door that might have gone bad. Im not sure about the cargo light though.

I hope this helps.

No idea where the sensor is. I've never had to look for it, LOL.

btw, you should put your ride info on you signature to make it easy for others to help you.
