k9sar Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Over the past several years, my dome light has been flakey. It used to flicker on when my rear hatch would think it was open but I fixed that problem. Now, the issue has been that it does not come on at all. I have replaced the bulb in the past and that seems to fix the ability to turn it on manually but the bulbs never seem to last long. Even with a good bulb, the dome light sometimes turns on when I unlock it remotely and sometimes not. When I open the door (passenger or drivers), it may or may not come on so. It seems that there might be a coombination of issues. Why does it work sometimes? Why does it eat bulbs? Anyone else have a similar situation or know where to look? note: The under-dash lights seem to work fine when the doors open or truck is unlocked so I do not suspect the door switches themselves. I also think my tailgate overhead light is going wonky as well. 3-position switch: always on - works, on when door open - no worky, always off - seems to work.

Terrano1992 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I had similar issues with my tailgate overhead light, caused by corroded contacts inside connector and 3-position switch... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 sounds like a bad connection or the door switchs are failing. Mine used to flash when i would turn sharp becasue there is a short in one of my door switches (no i never fixed it i just dont use the dome light unless on manual. I would take the dome like assamly down and check the connections on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
