Default weird dome light issue

everything works. no fuse or anything is wrong. the lights work and everything is good, its just sometimes theres a delay in coming on.

or i have to touch the switch and ittl come on. looks like a loose connection problem but i took it apart n everything looks fine.

sometimes when i open the door even it doesnt come on but after a few seconds it comes on, lol

any idea?

yea that's probably dielectric grease, from the factory. it's in there to keep the contacts lubed and in good shape. over time though, it will attract a lot of crap. wouldn't be a bad idea to put some fresh dielectric grease between those contacts though

^^^ yup ive got a pretty good education in electricity and its pleasant to actually see another honda-tech member that knows his *** from a whole in the ground when speaking about electricity. because the vast majority of people on here havent the foggiest idea.
