Why would a 95 Chevy suburan dome lights not work even though you changed the switch fuse and bulbs?

the frame of the auto is used for the ground wire, notice the battery connects to the frame. most of the time when all else is good the problem is in the ground. check to see if the light bracket has a ground wire that runs to the frame of the auto. keep in mind the dome is made of cloth and or plastic, so it does not make a good ground. MAYBE THE WIRING HAS A BREAK OR 'OPEN' IN THE CIRCUIT. TROUBLESHOOT WITH AN OHMMETER TO FIND CONTINUITY OR A BREAK IN THE WIRES...BB

Why after I changed the battery on my 1998 Forester are the running lights always on?
You probably hit the parking light switch inadvertantly! The switch is on top of the steering wheel column and is a rocker switch. I think that pushing the switch away from you will turn the parking lights on and pushing it towards you will turn them off - it may be vice versa though! Parking lights are for use in some countries when you are parked on an unlit street so that other drivers can see your car.
Why doesn't my 1995 Jeep wrangler brake lights work The lights work though. I replaced the brake switch and checked all the fuses.?
I have the same problem with my 1998 wrangler, I have been told it is the Multi-function switch in the steering column, but I have not changed it yet, can't seem to find it at local auto parts store!
Why would Chevy Suburban dash lights running lights and high beams not work even though the fuses are good?
The headlight switch may be bad. Try replacing. Its the Headlight switch. The switch has a built in Circuit Breaker that self resets. It has become bad and will eventually give it up.
On a 1996 Sable the headlamps stay on though the switch turns off the 'parking lights' yellow?
You probably have a faulty headlight switch. Replace it and that should fix it. Been there, done that.

They could be burned out.
What causes the brake lights not to illuminate when you press on the brakes even though the bulbs and fuses have been changed on a 1999.5 VW Jetta?
Possible defective brake light switch. These have been intermittant for several years. There was a recent recall for certain model years for this item.
What to look for next if fuse for dash lights is okay?
The headlight switch that has the dash light dimmer knob. The dimmer switch went bad and you can only fix it by getting another headlight switch on most cars. Some though have a separate dimmer switch.
Why would the tail lights parking lights and high beams fail but the turn signals backup lights and brakes work on 1990 Buick Riviera?
possibly a bad headlight switch, or dimmer switch. Some later model buicks have a lighting module under the dash about in the middle. I think yours is too old to have that though.
What would cause the brake lights in a 95 civic to never come on even though the tail lights work and the fuses are good?
There may be a cut in the wire(s). You will need a Digital Volt Meter to test the wire(s) at your brake light. There is a switch that is actuated when you apply pressure to the brake pedal. If the switch is malfunctioning your lights won't come on.
Why does the brake lights constantly stay on for a Nissan Pulsar lx?
It is because the brake light switch under the brake pedal is faulty. usually replacing this will solve the problem. it is designed in such a way that when the brake pedal is depressed the switch completes a circuit and the lights come on. the fault occurs when the switch closes the circuit even though the pedal is not depressed. hope this helps.
Why do you have no dash lights but your hazard lights are staying on constant?
Try pushing the hazard light switch on steering column repeatedly. I had a strange problem with my hazards once and this fixed it for now. I think my problem was the signals not working though....
How do you switch on fog lights on a 1998 Ford Mondeo?
The switch that turns the headlights on. PULL it back once for front fogs(if fitted) and twice for rear fogs. This will only work with the headlights on though(sidelights or dipped) OK
