Ok I understand how it works,but if the switch grounds the dome light, then both wires should be hot ,and when you turn the switch it breaks the loop and grounds causing the light to go on, right?
The headlight switch has good ground, and like I mentioned if I ground the white wire the dome light works.
I wll check to see if there is a broken wire ,,Strange
