I fixed the no-headlight problem on my 1996 Jeep Cherokee (not a Grand) by replacing the headlight switch. As I recall, the black plastic knob is removed from the outside. Then, there is a button on the switch housing itself which is difficult to reach - you have to put your head on the floor and reach way up underneath. Pushing the button allows the stem to be pulled out from the front. My memory isn't clear. It is also hard to get the large connector loose because of the plastic clips holding it in.

I don't know why the old switch wouldn't work. I had no faith that replacing it would do any good. It did - the lights have worked without issues since.

Hope this helps.

Why wont your dome lights come on when you open your door in your 2008 silveraldo?

The headlight switch also opperates the dome light... insted of pulling it out, just turn it like a door knob... if that doesnt work then it might be a fuse, the same fuse that works stuff like the radio also works the dome light. A 2008, I would bring it back to the dealer.

Dome light will not go out on 1997 BMW 318?

Take the light out. You might have a bad switch in the door frame. When the door closes- it pushes a switch which I believe opens a circuit and shuts off your light. If the switch is bad it wont open the circuit and the light stays on.

On the same switch you use to turn on the headlights, there is a dome override button that you press and then you can play with the dash lights to make them brighter. This should turn the light off.


Where is door switch for dome light on 1998 mercury tracer?

it is located on the door pillar at the bottom. It is held on by a Phillips screw. If you are replacing it, try to clean the contacts first, that maybe all that's wrong. I know that if the contacts are bad the dome light won't come on and the bell wont chime if the key is in the ignition with the drivers door open
