The front dome light or interior light is out in my car. I thought that the bulb was out, so i went to autozone to buy a replacement. I went with an led bulb for kicks but when i replaced it, it still didnt work. The only bulb that is out is the main one, not the two map lights. All my other electronics work, but i checked the fuse anyway, which is fine. I even replaced it just in case. I've searched the forums and cant find anything useful. All the other problems i've read about are having multiple things out or water damage, but not just one bulb not getting power. If i've missed something please let me know.

 

did you use a multimeter to confirm that there's 0v going to the contacts?

 

Mine is the switch. Acts like its out but play with the switch and works again.

 

On the LED bulb, did you try flipping it around to see if that worked?

 

That did the trick. I feel stupid now.

 

You should feel happy that your dome light problem is solved.

 

happy and relieved. and still a bit stupid.

 

i have te same problem in my 96 ls400, it worked fine for about a year, then went out so i replaced it and it worked for about a month. then went out. so i boiught another one and it worked and went out again! and a couple weeks later started working, but then stopped and now it wont work again.
