hello,
I was working on my rig today and my intermittent dome light short is here for good. Its stuck on. I had my dome light pop on/off a week ago. I pulled the drivers door switch pushed it and got nothing. I wiggled it and it temporarily turned off. it just recently popped back on again while i was driving and irritated. I gave the interior panel a kick and it went off. Today it is stuck on and drained my battery 3 times. I had to pull the interior light bulbs for now. I guess thats what i deserve for kicking it. I believe the wire broke somewhere inside the body/fender?. I cant figure out how to get to these wires and trace them and find the break. The drivers side has two black wires with a white stripe.They arent getting anything so im suspecting a solid chassis short. The passenger door only has one wire on the switch which i thought was :wierd:. Does the passenger side only have one wire? IF so, then this might be my problem. If thats it, I still cant figure out how to get to the wires in that closed compartment.
Also, the rear hatch door has never turned the dome light on or off. I checked the switch inside and it does nothing.
Thanks, this is a pain having a random dead battery. Im hopefully going to be able to get to it tomorrow. Does anyone know the path of the wires on the front drivers door switch and how to get to them?
