The switch isn't in the off position correct?
Got a multimeter?

The fuse that you checked, was it the #3 (7.5A) fuse in the Under-Hood Fuse/Relay Box?

I'm assuming you don't have a sunroof, correct?

Do the map/spot lights up front work?

Do/check this.

Mine did not work and it was due to the swich contact wearing out. Remove the cover so you can get a meter or test light in there to see if you have power.

Re: My dome light in my 7th gen civic isn’t getting power

Power and ground are shared between the front map lights and the dome light, that helps pinpoint it to something with the dome light specifically. You have no power at the dome light, next I would remove the dome light/switch assembly and check for power/ground in the connector.
