Anyone know any tricks for getting the dome light to work. It stays on all the time. Have to remove the bulb and the map light works with the doors so I don't think it's the door switch

have you turned the dimmer switch until it clicks? usually it is that or a door jamb switch.

My 02 pos did the same thing, it was the dash switch. 60$ and 15 min all better.

i bet someone stuck the wrong bulb in the socket. the dome lights require a special bulb that gets its ground from the wires instead of through the casing. you need a 1004 bulb. you will likely have to order one in since i don't think many if any stores would keep one in stock.
