Rear Dome Light Comes On on LR Door, Not RR Door.... (1 Viewer)

[TDavidson]

SOrry to hijack, but where can I get OEM switches? RR and RL door open won't activate the dome light, but pushing the switches will.

Second this one. Anyone have the part numbers handy?

Having this issue on my 99LC, driver front door. I replaced the switch new switch did not work. I tried new switch in other doors switch is fine. I tried switches from other doors in front door, did not turn on dome lights and did not turn off automatic headlights. I opened up the side panel and checked the wire, but did not find a splice in the kick plate. I did find a patch in the wire were someone, maybe the entertainment installers or the alarm installers may have attached a wire. But i didn't find a wire attached, so i cut the door wire and soldered it back together, then i took some sand paper and cleaned the metal part of the switch that contacts the body of the truck. Still no luck.

I have a couple of switches on their way, just good second hand units. My is RR door failed to operate the lights (all three), tried cleaning to no avail, then found the wiring behind the rearmost side panel, unclipped it and found OE splice gone bad, cleaned it up with no change so it is definitely the switch. This issue with splices going bad though after many years is going to be a future problem for everyone who wishes to keep and maintain these ageing beasts.

We need a 'where is the splice for the 'X' component' thread.

Where is the Splice would be a good one. As I said i never found the splice on the driver side. Maybe I'll have to investigate further.

I just ordered from ebay. Not sure of model number but the switch works fine, I think i have a wire failure some where down the line, that i haven't figured out yet.
