make sure you have the cig lighter removed from its socket before replacing fuse.
this is usually the cause for the blown fuse. |

Re: dome light,cig lighter? poppin fuse?hot?
Orange and black should go to the fuse block, as stated above, remove the lighter then replece fuse. To check circut, first check all fuses, then ground test light at the lighter and CAREFULLY probe the contact at the bottom of the lighter bore.Next, the dome light. All the courtesy lamps are on 1 circut. Seeing as all the under dash lights work the feed is good to them as is the ground supplied from the door switches. Take the lens off the light that don't work. With your test light grounded anyplace probe the orange wire at the bulb, it should light. If it dosen't, the orange wire is open someplace. If it does light the white wire is open between the light and the door jamb switch. jim

You may want to check the dome light socket. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=441703
