THINK YOU MAY HAVE A BLOWN FUSE. DOME LIGHT AND RADIO ARE NOT ON THE SAME CIRCUIT NORMALLY. NOT SURE WHAT YEARS YOU CAR BUT YOU CAN CHECK THE FUSEBOX ON THE DRIVER KICK PANEL TO SEE IF THERE IS A BLOWN FUSE. IT SHOULD SAY LOCATIONS ON THE COVER AND WHAT AMP IT IS. EASY WAY TO CHECK IS TO PULL IT OUT, THIS WAY YOU'LL KNOW THAT ITS GOOD OR NOT. SOME CAR MAY HAVE FUSE BOX IN THE HOOD FOR THE DOME LIGHT OR IT MAY SAY INTERIOR LAMP. IF THE FUSE ARE GOOD, YOU MAY HAVE A SWITCH PROBLEM WHERE ITS NOT GROUNDED. CHECK THE SWITCH MAKING SURE ITS NOT LOOSE. AS FOR THE RADIO, YOU MAY HAVE A BLOWN FUSE ON THE RADIO HARNESS ITSELF IF ITS AN AFTERMARKET RADIO, CHECK THAT, IF NOT, THE RADIO IS BAD. THE RADIO NEED ONLY THREE SOURCE TO COME ON. 1. CONSTANT 12 VOLTS, 2. IGN 12 VOLTS, AND 3 IS PROPER GROUNDING.

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.

What is wrong if the radio and dome lights went out in your 1997 Isuzu rodeo simultenously could it be a fuse and if so where is it located?

If the dome lights and the radio went out at the same time on a 1997 Isuzu Rodeo, it could be a fuse. There are two fuse boxes on that vehicle. One is on the passenger side in the engine compartment and one is located in the dash on the driver's side. The fuse for the radio is in the dash fuse box.
