Dome light changed bulb good fuse what next

There are a few possible reasons why the windows, cruise, and mirrors dome light in your 2000 F350 is not working. Here are a few things you can check: Check the fuse: The first thing you should do is check the fuse for the dome light. The fuse box is typically located under the dashboard. The fuse for the dome light is usually labeled "dome light" or "interior lights." If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage. Check the wiring: If the fuse is not blown, the next thing you should check is the wiring for the dome light. The wiring can be damaged or corroded, which can prevent the light from working. Inspect the wiring carefully for any signs of damage. If you find any damage, repair or replace the wiring. Check the light bulb: If the wiring is not damaged, the next thing you should check is the light bulb itself. The light bulb may be burned out or loose. To check the light bulb, remove it from the socket and inspect it for any signs of damage. If the light bulb is burned out, replace it with a new light bulb. If the light bulb is not burned out, make sure that it is properly seated in the socket. Check the switch: If the light bulb is not burned out and the wiring is not damaged, the next thing you should check is the switch. The switch may be faulty and need to be replaced. To check the switch, disconnect the wiring from the switch and test it with a multimeter. If the switch is faulty, replace it with a new switch. If you have checked all of these things and the dome light is still not working, you may need to take the truck to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.

remove the cover of the dome light and check the bulb,look at the filliment to see if they touch each end,change if neccesary

The fuse my have blow when the bulb did, check and see if you have power and ground at the dome light, if so, check the new bulb for continuity , if not, check the dome light fuse.

Hi Steve:
You may have 2 separate problems so I'd try to approach it that way. RADIO - On this older truck, it may be that there is a separate in-line fuse for the radio. If you can see under the dash where the wires come from the radio, look for a red or black one that has an in-line fuse holder. Push the ends inwards and twist counterclockwise, then pull apart to get at the fuse. It is also possible that the "accessory" terminal of the ignition switch is no longer working. A continuity meter should help you resolve that.
DOME LIGHT - Pull the bulb and test to make sure it's working. Check for power at the bulb connection receptacle (socket). Dome lights typically are switched from the doors or by rotating the light switch. If the bulb is good, it should be a hide and seek game to find where the power is, and where it isn't. The shorter the distance between these points, the closer you are to the problem.
Patience, and a sense of humour. You'll get it.

Do your dash lights work? Check the dash light switch to see if it rotates to control the dome light, it may be turned off completely or the dome light ground wire may be loose. If not the wiring will run from the back of the fuse block through the body post to the dome light Good Luck

There sometime is 2 fuse boxes on cars, one under the hood, and one inside the car somewhere. Check both boxes, make sure all the fuses are not blown, then if everything is good try replacing the switch in the door and/or on the dome light itself.

I'm not an expert on the electrical part of the 04 maxima. But I noticed on one of the websites I normally visit that it could be a blown bulb on the passenger side vanity mirror. Here's the quote:

2004 Maxima Tail Lights and Parking Lights fuse blows when interior dome light is on Discovered that my tail lights and parking lights fuse (next to the window washer box which took me a couple of hours to find!) would blow everytime I turned interior dome light on. First I thought it was my Ipod and then maybe moisture was getting in through a small crack in the left rear tail light. Sat in my car last night with a box of fuses and did everything one at a time. It was the turning on of my dome light that caused the fuse to blow. It was instant. I have a blown bulb in the passenger side vanity sun-viser flap. I will change that tomorrow and post an update.


He hasn't updated on the results of changing his vanity mirror bulb. I hope this helps...I hate car electrical problems...So hard to diagnose...

bulb or fues

check the dome fuse

There shouold be a fuse in the fuse panel for this, or you may possibly have a faulty door switch that activates the dome light. Hope this helps
