Okay, so I've got this issue where my dome light will not come on if the driver side doors open up. If you open the passenger side doors, they will come on. I'm just confused as to why they only work on one side of the truck. Is it a relay somewhere, or maybe a fuse? Help me out here guys!

I had thought of that as well, but I just cant believe that both of them went out on just one side of the truck at the same time.

Yea not sure you might have a bad connection somewhere but I doubt that, hmmm you really got me stumped, check your fuses because there was 2 for my trucks interior lights and when went out I replaced one and didn't realize there was 2

Alright, I'll toy around with the fuses tomorrow. I wonder if there's any way to check those little switch things that trigger the lights. hmm

Yea man our family got one of the new 2011 650 max(2seater) and we have hit some serious trails with this thing no problem, som e of the lifted guys get stuck an we don't but that also might play into the fact that I've rode things with 4 wheels I the mud all my life lol

And yea check the voltage and see what's up

So did you figure it out?

I know when I cut the wire in behind the door panel to delete the door chime, now when I open the drivers side the light wont come on automatically only the passenger side where I didnt cut the wire

I checked all the fuses, I don't want to go and take the door panel off and screw it up just yet. It's weird because, my seatbelt chime and open door chimes don't work. The door chimes only work on the passenger side as well.
