great...my dome light doesnt work when the door opens....

I just replaced my interior dome lights...and um..now the front dome light doesnt work when I open the door
that's why I get for DMY

hm...I'm thinking it's a fuse problem...if it is...does anyone know
where the fuse is??

I know there are fuses in the engine bay, but there are fuses under the steering wheel as well

does anyone know exactly which fuse deals the domelights when opening a door??

note: I'm kinda worried now, because the back domelight works, but the front dome light doesnt when I open the door

Fuses are labeled on the panels in the interior fusebox, and for the engine bay it's on the cover... or might simply just be th bulbs

Did ya switch the bulb out again to the orinial one? maybe its the new one ya put in. I changed mine out the other day and had no problems. Haha make sure you didnt do something as dumb as not switchin it to "door" and not "off" or whateva!

yeah I did that

the bulb works...if I switch to on...it works

but when I put the switch in the middle (only works when you open a door"

then that's where the problem is

the the bulbs works

so....could it be a fuse problem? or do I have to see if the switch connection was somehow damaged when I put in the new piaa dome bulb??

Mine doesn't work either when I open the door. And it doesn't dim anymore either. It will turn on when I start the car and the door is open though...
