    Unhappy Wife was driving and got swiped, cabin light not working.

    I don't know where to post this, so I figured the technical thread is where. I've checked all of my fuses, and everything seems normal, but I don't know where the wiring is. Can someone please help me out here?

    You're not giving us any more info than fuses, so I'll start with the obvious:

    There's a switch on the light itself. It can be on, off or door. Maybe it got bumped to "off"? Or even to a position in-between settings?

    Light bulb?
    Simplify and add lightness.

    If you're trying to turn in on manually, then Loren's advise is right on. If you mean that its not turning on when the door is open, then there is a switch on the door jam. I'd take a look at that.

    Sounds like the lightbulb may have burned out, you didnt say how many miles or year of the car. But certainly i would check the easy things first like the switch settings, the fuse and bulb. Maybe the switch itself is faulty but that is more advanced troubleshooting and a lower probability. I have my domelight set to off unless i manually flip the switch.

    I like my privacy.
