1) Remove the key from the ignition. Make sure the doors are closed, so the new bulb does not illuminate when you are installing it.

2) Make sure the dome light switch is turned to the "Off" position. Pry the plastic lens away from the dome light. Use a small, flat-head screwdriver.

3) Push back the side bulb clamp. Pull out the old dome lightbulb. Wipe the area with a paper towel if it is dirty.

4) Wrap the new bulb in a paper towel (oil from your skin will shorten its life). Insert it into the dome lightbulb holder. Push it up gently to secure it.

5) Turn the switch to "On" to test the bulb. Reposition the cover and push up to lock the clips into place.

If the bulb doesn't work, you've got a bad switch somewhere, probably on the drivers door.

SOURCE: non-functioning dome light

These have contacts that seem to wear out before the life of the car is up. I bought a used one off EBAy and replaced it. Check the switch integrity - make sure the contacts connect.

Windows cruise mirrors dome light not working 200 f350

There are a few possible reasons why the windows, cruise, and mirrors dome light in your 2000 F350 is not working. Here are a few things you can check: Check the fuse: The first thing you should do is check the fuse for the dome light. The fuse box is typically located under the dashboard. The fuse for the dome light is usually labeled "dome light" or "interior lights." If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage. Check the wiring: If the fuse is not blown, the next thing you should check is the wiring for the dome light. The wiring can be damaged or corroded, which can prevent the light from working. Inspect the wiring carefully for any signs of damage. If you find any damage, repair or replace the wiring. Check the light bulb: If the wiring is not damaged, the next thing you should check is the light bulb itself. The light bulb may be burned out or loose. To check the light bulb, remove it from the socket and inspect it for any signs of damage. If the light bulb is burned out, replace it with a new light bulb. If the light bulb is not burned out, make sure that it is properly seated in the socket. Check the switch: If the light bulb is not burned out and the wiring is not damaged, the next thing you should check is the switch. The switch may be faulty and need to be replaced. To check the switch, disconnect the wiring from the switch and test it with a multimeter. If the switch is faulty, replace it with a new switch. If you have checked all of these things and the dome light is still not working, you may need to take the truck to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.

Replaceing the interior lights on Grand Marquis

Hi
Most interior lights will just pop out and can now be replaced with much brighter, long lasting led bulbs.

Try to get a slim screwdriver to the side of the dome and gently twist. Do not be ham fisted or you will break the dome.

No dome light

You shorted the interior lamps/or it is burned out. get the car manual and look for where the interior lamp fuse is located to check if its the fuse. IF all the courtesy lights on your doors are working, then your dome light bulb is burnt, check modifiedlife.com for the correct size bulb and order it from an online automotive lighting store for a fancy color or go to your local auto store for the standard bulbs they have available.

2005 chevy suburban- my back-up lights and interior dome lights do not work. All fuses appear intact? Suggestions?

you bcm (body control module is bad) to have the dealer replace it will run you about $400. a quick fix for the reverse light is to splice 2 wires into the wire for the center plug in your trailer wiring. now run a wire up to each reverse light, cut the green wire to each reverse light and **** conect them up. this is a seperate revers feed than the one from the bcm. the dome lights remove the light cover on the second set of interior lights (the one between the drivers seats). the two side bulbs are map lights the center bulb is for the dome lights. run a jumper wire from the right or leftside socket to the center socket. you dome lights will now turn on with just the use of that switch i replaced the back bulbs with led's soo there is no extra amp's being drawn. you could bypass the bcm but i could not find any wiring diagrams for it and i dont know if it can take the added amp's

I just bought a 1997 Pathfinder and the interior light doesn't come on when the door is open. All other interior lights seem to work. Would it just be a bulb that needs replacing. I'm assuming the switch...

yes it could be the bulb is just blown remove it and check that the filaments are still 2gether if they are fine it will be the fuse its usually in the group of fuses under your hood the fuse will be labeled dome or dome light this is the interior light it has its own separate fuse replace the fuse there are usually spares on the inside of the fuse box cover but make sure it is the same as the one that is blown
