SOURCE: Malibu dome entry/exit light does not turn on when doors open.

My wife showed me that one- the doom lite in center of roof is 3 postision, slide it to passanger side then back to center. Its a poorly made switch but once set in middle the lites will come on/off with door openning/closing. Be aware it dims delays when going off, not immediate.

SOURCE: 2003 chevy S10. some gauges & light don't work

When these gauges start going on GM autos it is almost always a new instrument cluster. On 2002 to 2006 GM's we replace 5-10 per week. (We have over 220,000 vehicles in our fleet)

SOURCE: Instrument panel lights will not work after new

Hi 1987 Honda Civic lihgts on instrument panel. New Battery. and replaced blower unit but lights on panel not working. I am yet to install stereo unit which was taken out by previous owner - very roughly ! Wondering if not having stereo will effect instrument panel lights. Cheers Steve

SOURCE: '97 Malibu, dash lights don't work

Check your fuses. The dash lights are on a different fuse. Also check dimmer switch. If its not one, then it is the other. Try working dimmer switch quickly back and forth( with the lights on when it's dark so you can see if they come on).
