Default dome light problem

My 89 Accord has a dome light problem. I have replaced the light bulb, but no luck. I have tried to see if maybe it is the fuse, but while looking at the diagram for the fuse box I see nothing about interior lights? Any suggestions?

I'm not too familiar with that year model. I would think if it was a fuse, none of the other interior lights would work. Do they?

I can't remember the labels for the fuses on 3rd gens, but I can tell you that the dome light, cig lighter, and I believe the radio all share the same fuse. The dome light and cig lighter I'm sure of. The radio... I'm only 60% sure.

That would make sense because the CL does not work either. The radio does work. So now the challenge is just figuring out which fuse it is! There isn't anything labeled even close to CL or dome/interior light?

I haven't had my '88 Accord since 1999, so I can't recall any of the fuse labels.

Just start pulling fuses until you find the one that's blown.

Hello? the light needs a ground path to work.
But because you never Actually stated what problem you wish to solve, nobody can really give you any good solid diagnostic help.

I have pulled all of the fuses and none are blown. Is there another fuse box somewhere else besides at the driver's left knee?

The biggest issue for me is the dome light not working. I don't care about the CL. I checked all of the fuses at the driver's left knee, and none are blown. Is there another fuse box somewhere else?

No, not that I remember. If the fuses are okay, you're going to want to start checking for cracked/broken/worn wires. Ground wires included. The fun part is that it's all behind the dash... (sorry for the sarcasm)
