My dome light is wacked!

It doesn't come on when I open the door or hit the fob unlock. But I can turn it on by the switch at the dome light itself. What's wrong?

well i guess the most obvious answer is do you have it on the right setting...there should be 3: 1- off, 2-door, 3-on. off is always off, on is always on, and door is on when you open the dorr or unlock with key fob.

it could be as simple as this.

good luck

Well...I'll feel pretty stupid if that's it! I thought about that after I posted. Maybe my wife moved the switch. I'll check it out tonight. Drove the Frontier to work today. Thanks!

Sure enough, that was it. I love easy fixes almost as much as finding options I didn't know I had. Like heated mirrors!

its ok im sure most have had that prob. like me the other day my signals were not working. i checked the fuse, the wire harness everything. fianlly i realized that since i did the rewire i lost the control of the hazard button. so i went into the car and pressed it and wouldnt u know it fine. is that right, should i have that problem. dont need to be told search simple yes or no please... ill admit im lazy and ill prob end up wasting 20 min doing it b/c of the server always being busy...

thx
