2003 Mitsubishi Montero Sport Cargo Compartment Dome Light

Hi,

Please open your fuse box to check if you notice any fuses that are discolored or (potentially) burnt. if you find one, that fuse might be linked to the dome lights.

To be sure, please call your local advanced auto parts to verify the fuse # is correct and then you can order the fuse through advanced autoparts.

Thank you.

In the latch

The cargo light is tied to the interior/dome lights. If you have a dome light then the bulb is bad or it has a broken wire. If not, then check the dome light fuse. In the fuse panel under the dash.

Make sure it is not a door switch. They may seem alright but are known to fail. I'm having issue with mine and found that it was a switch.

Push the button beside the dome light to activate auto mode .

The SJB supplies power to the interior lighting system. The SJB will set DTCs if certain circuit failures exist with the interior lighting system.

Does the stereo light up when you turn it on? If not, find the fuse for 'dome'. If it does, check the wires to the stereo and see if you disturbed a connection to the dome and cargo lite.

your doomed

the door adjar switch is the problem. the cargo light stays on until 35mph, as well as the overhead dome light. i just took the bulb out of the dome light and dont worry about the cargo light. it stays on for 30 min after the truck is turned off if the switch didnt trip properly. it shouldnt cause any problems as long as your batteries are good. i havent replaced the switch yet but it should be on the part of the door by the latch. get the replacement part and do a visual I.D. when you get the panel off. then replace it. the sensor is only 14$

Check under the hood, in the fusebox, for a fuse label ctsy (courtesy). It'll be over the driver side wheel. Replace it, if blows and, you have a wire touching bear metal somewhere. Good luck!
