Dome light doesn't come on when I open my door.
Does anyone know what is up with this? No matter what position the swich is in (the center one is where it should be for this to happen), my dome light will not come one when I open driver or passeger door. It's a 97 LX four door, btw.

Check the door switch. Take it out and short the wire to ground. If the dome light, in the center position, does not light either the bulb or the switch at the light is bad.

check if(if you have a new stereo) you have it wired correctly, if not, check your bulbs.

thats is what was wrong with mine. i had to connect 2 wires behind the radio on my old 98 ex to make the dome light come on with my doors.

i think its light green w/ red , jump it over to light green w/ black in the green plug that was plugged into the radio. if my colors are wrong correct me.

He said that the lights don't come on even when he manually tries switching them on. If he had an aftermarket radio, the lights will still come on if he turned the interior switch to "on." At least mine do.

by the way the dome light in my wifeys civic wouldnt work in any position either. I had to take the screws out of the back of the switch and take a small piece of sandpaper and clean the contacts. put it back together and into the car , worked like a champ.
