I think mine does the same. Get home, turn off truck, pull out key and they kick off until I open the door. And sometimes opening the door doesn't work. Hrmmm.

 

Quick question, there is a button located to the lower left of the light switch that can be pushed in. Is it in the outermost position?

wow....just wow.........To rab who mentioned the dome override switch.......Its been like this for 2 weeks and I've only half cared......over complicating a simple user error. I'll go bash my head against the wall for the stupidity. I can't believe I missed that.... :doh:

SHIT, I'm retarded
should have searched first, found this in an old thread





feel free to make fun of me :hide:

 

That's kind funny. :lolhit:

 

:kiki:

 

i have noticed if i pull my key out of the ignition too fast, sometimes my interior lights dont come on till i open the doors. i was told that the switch in the ignition might stick.

 

there is a button to the left...... Well nevermind lol dejavu

 

My dome light doesn't light up but the floor lights do.

Where is the fuse? the only fuse panel is the one in front of the battery correct?

Thanks

 

yup that's the only fuse box we have

sure it's not just the bulb?

 

IF you look at the driver's side door frame, you will see a twisted pair of wires running along the door frame above the headliner..those feed it. Test there..if you now have voltage then you willl need a new dome light itself. IF you do not, then you have a short somewhere along that twisted pair. track it down till it hits the fuse box. You will not have to look far my friend.

 

Ya I plan on tracing wires... but wanted to check fuses first. Going to be a project no matter what from this point forward and it is really annoying getting into a mostly dark truck at night (floor lights help a little).

 

Btw, all you have to do is pull down the door seal. NOT the headliner.. The twisted pair will be obvious right there..it cuts across right at the split from back door to front door jamb. Anywhere before then and your golden. BTW, you have a quick disconect up there about a foot or so from the door jamb itself towards the light. IT could be making poor contact..Also a thought....:shrug:

 

Thanks for the info man... :thumbup:

 

No problem at all brother. Remember..the SAME circuit that powers the floor lights ALSO power's the dome light. that being said, CAN NOT be a fuse..has to be either that quick connect, bad wiring, OR the dome light itself.:thumbup:

 

It was the loose plug on the A-pillar. just touched it and the light came on... wrapped it up in black tape, shouldn't come loose again.

Thanks

 

Good deal there. Good job Banditz!

 

I heard theres a button on the left.

 

Pahaaa

 

LOL no problem man. Glad you got it fixed.
