Exclamation 1993 Dome Light (Help Needed)

Dome light doesn't work,

I took out the housing and switch, disconnected the connectors.

Put a test light and volt meter to the leads, I got nothing.

I checked all the fuses under the dash(I don't have a diagram nor could I
find one for that year and model) so I checked all of them.

Ide like to know which fuse number it is so I can see if there is a short in between.

I am now here asking you folk,
What would you do?
Where can I get a fuse diagram?


Thank You,
Civic1993Driver

Yes #3 7.5 amp fuse is in place and functional(even checked continuity).

So that is a good question, does anyone know where the ground for the dome light is grounded? I feel like this is the most likely culprit.

And since there is not a full circuit should I check continuity dome neg to battery neg also the dome pos to battery pos?

Re: 1993 Dome Light (Help Needed)

does anyone know where the ground for the dome light is grounded?
Each of the jamb switches. And maybe a mounting screw.



should I check continuity dome neg to battery neg also the dome pos to battery pos?
How else will you know which side is missing?
