Dome lights just stopet working help
Help pleas…… I have a 1992 bonny es. The other day my dome lights just stopped working and the power mears. Thinking it would just be a fuse I chect all my fuses in the fuse box and they were all good??? What I think might have caused whatever happed is that my seal around my front window is all blown out. From my stereo water just runs in even snow blows in the winter time (that’* what fore 15’* douse to your car). So it gets pretty wet all around my front dome light, but its ben like that for 2 years. Just now having problems so don’t know if that’* the problem And more electrical problems when I about the car that have never work for me are the rear defrost, power driver seat, and power locks do not work. Can eny 1 hellp me are there eny in line fuses I should look for? Help pleas

well all that i cas say from experience is that electrical and water dont mix. You may have corrosion in alot of places and troubleshooting might be very extensive.
you might want to drop your headliner and investigate further. remember to check your fuses above the passenger footwell also

ok im not sure where the dome fuse is located, but since the windshield is leaking it could have corroded the wires that run down the A pillars. that is where the wiring spilts. If someone could get in here with a FSM they could tell you exactly where the wires are run

Two by the rearveiw mirror, one over each rear door.
90% of the lighting wiring is behind the dash. You've got a serious problem tracing this all out and I personally recommend you take it to a shop.

Hey Oakely, is it all the lights on the interior or just the light overhead.
Ol' TImer there are the lights that Dame mentioned and there are 4 lights in each door that illuminate too

What about the headlight switch ? Could it be bad ? I have a 1992 FSM .
I could trace the circuit for you if needed. Even if I did this you would have to be able to troubleshoot with a volt meter. It'* a quick look in the FSM let me know.
