interior pillar light Q.

[mkbruin]

So, mine will turn on if you angle them and shake a little (bad contacts most likely), but will not turn on with an open door.

 

What am I missing? All fuses are good, the door sensors are plugged in....

May sound silly, but you are setting them in the 'pointed down' position right? I fought the lights for a week until I accidentally pushed the lens down.

 

Dirty contacts will also prevent the lights from coming on.

check the door contact - if found to be bad go to napa and get one, they run about $6.

I just copied this from the Bulb Replacement for the Interior Dome Light Thread...

The dome lights in our trucks really are terrible IMO. I did fix mine up though doing both the things mentioned and they work really well now! First, I cleaned up the contacts. If the WD40 isn't working, try a pencil eraser. Pencil erasers sometimes work wonders are electrical contacts. Second, I soldered the wire that btm24 is referring to. By doing this it allows the lens to sit level when operating while the door is open. All you have to do is solder a small piece of wire between the contact where the roller on the lens sits to the top contact. If that is still a bit confusing, here's a couple pics.
