Dome light wont go on

SOURCE: information center on dash

My wife's minivan had the same exact same problem....especially on a bumpy gravel road....on off on off on off...AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! (this was both the beeps and the lights....as I said AHAHHHHH!)

I resolved it by figuring out which door was causing the issue....very irritating the flashing interior lights, etc.......the issue is likely that the rubber gasket is worth enough to not push the sensor in completely....

• locate the sensor on each door....little 1" shaft like area in the door pillar area...pressed in when the door is closed
  
• with the engine running, open each door (one at a time) to manually press this switch in ( to identify which door is causing this irritating issue)
• once the troubled door is located...look to see where it would make contact on the door itself
• look for a rubber nickel sized plug on the door
• it is likely worn slightly, or pressed out of shape
  
• to resolve my wife's issue, I turned this plug a 1/4 turn or so...to the 'unworn' area
• this worked really well...although it took a few 1/4 turns to figure out the best fix
• ultimately it was an irritating fix....but the problem is/was much worse than pulling over every now and a again to 'fix' it...esp. at night (think flashing interior light, beeping..esp. when the kids had just fallen asleep!!!!)
  
• P.S....it was a little fiddle process, but once you do it once then, you can fiddle some more
• long-term, perhaps get another 'plug', but my solution worked really well
  

SOURCE: Dome light and reading lamps stay on and will not cut off.

your door close switch is non-functional. its located in the door jamb. its a black button the size of a shirt button. usually held in by one or two screws.

there is one for each door.

CHECK THE GROUND CIRCUIT.

SOURCE: dome light doesn't come on when the door is open

switch at light should be at correct position, check for switch at door to make sure it is working

SOURCE: I have a 2008 Chev Tahoe with a push button dome

check small round button beside headlight switch..open door and push button until interior lights come on...should correct problem
