Light Question...

My interior lights do not come on. I know there is one under the dash and one on the headliner... both do not work and my bulbs dont appear to be burnt out... what could be wrong? i want them to work... is there a fuse for the lighting? could i just need all new parts?

Re: Light Question...

There should be a fuse for them. Also check the door pin switch. It sends a signal with door open to turn lights on.

Re: Light Question...

turn the lights knob all the way left till it clicks, that's manual on. The fuse should be labeled right next to it in white writing.

Re: Light Question...

The orange wire is the ground circuit fot the lights. The door pin switches are nothing more than a sliding ground connector. Ift they get dirty or worn, then they don't work well. the headlight switch is also the other wasy to turn this light on. If the lights don't work with that switch then I would definitly look at the fuse.
