Lexus es300 1994 Dome light issue!

When my hubby replaced the dome light sparks flew. The light does not work anymore, the door locks don't work, the trunk release doesn't work and the antenna doesn't go up. We thought maybe we blew the fuse but not sure.???

2007 Hyundai Tucson dome lights do not come on when either drivers side & passenger door are open... The lights work when I push the interior dome light buttons, just not when I open doors.

If the dome lights on your 2007 Hyundai Tucson do not come on when the driver's side or passenger doors are open, but they do work when you press the interior dome light buttons, there are a few things you can check to try to determine the cause of the issue:
  1. Check the door switches: Make sure that the door switches, which are located on the inside of the doors, are working properly. If the switch is not working, it will not send a signal to the dome light to turn on when the door is opened.
  2. Check the wiring: Check the wiring that connects the door switches to the dome light. Make sure that the wiring is not damaged or corroded, and that all connections are tight.
  3. Check the dome light fuse: Check the fuse for the dome light in the vehicle's fuse box. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same amperage.
  4. Check the BCM(Body Control Module): The Body Control Module controls the door switches and the dome light. Make sure that the BCM is not malfunctioning.
  5. Check the Sunroof switch: Make sure that the sunroof switch is not malfunctioning, sometimes that switch is used to turn on the dome light, if the switch is not working the dome light will not turn on.
It's important to have a professional technician to diagnose the issue and confirm what the problem is before trying to fix it. If you're not comfortable with troubleshooting the issue yourself, it's best to contact Hyundai dealership or a mechanic for further assistance.

My buddy has a 03 trailblazer he blew a fuse tiring to wire in some lights with his dome light so we replaced the fuse everything works good but the dome wont turn on when u open the doors and when u lock...

sounds like you blew more than one fuse.
check the live feed to the dome light, then check the earth return through the door switch, make sure it switches. if no earth return you must check wiring and switch. if no live, go back to fuse boxes.
cheers

2002 Ford F350, Door Ajar Light on constantly, Auto Locks don't operate, Auto Headlights don't operate(only manually), Dome Light does not operate when opening doors, Remote does not work. All

Your keyless entry system is going bad and you need a battery for your keyless entry system once you replace your battery with the new one thing should work properly

Dome light stays on until you go over 25 mph

I have a 2002 Explorer as well. It mite be that the keyless entry box needs 2 be replaced. I had a similar problem with the door ajar thing and sum other lighting issues and that was the problem. Got it fixed and now I have no problems. The part costs like $25 but the labor, idk. A family member did it 4 me. Hope that helps. Good luck.
