Is it a common problem for the interior lighting (dome and one behind rear view mirror) to stop working on 900's? Door switches both check good, switch checks ok with a continuity meter, fuse is good yet I still don't get any voltage to either socket. Searched the forums a bit but I didn't really find anything pertaining to inside lighting. One mentioned the buzzer but mine works fine. Light in the rear under the speaker works, but I think that's a different circuit altogether although not sure.

usually the switch even if showing up ok, squirt some wd in it, as if it's the dorr switch usual;ly one goes not both, and make sure it's on the door opener setting not in the middle, been there done that lol:cheesy:

The light switch between the seats has three settings.

Position one turns them on constant.
Position two is always off.
Position three they come on when the door is opened and there is a 20 second timer delay to shut them off after the door is shut.

You might check that the switch is not in position two.

I have tried all 3 positions and still cannot get any voltage to either socket, door open or closed. It is like the fuse is dead but the other electrical items on the circuit that fuse fuses stop when I pull it. Fuse is good..

What i have not tried, come to think of it, is checking each lead off the switch plug for voltage with the doors open. I had previously had the switch and plug out thinking maybe the plug connection or switch was booboo but the switch had continuity in the proper positions... I should have done that while it was apart.. *sigh*

lol

How about the interior light switch itself? My dome light won't turn on at all unless I press the switch and keep pushing it down. Thoughts?

That's probably a bad switch, try cleaning it if you don't have a spare...

I read this and went to my local part shop... spent 50 cents on a packet of dielectric grease. Then proceed to pop the switch out and apart, and clean the contatcs in the housting (carefully) with a paper clip. I then take this 50 cent package and soak down all the metal; switch contacts, housing contacts, and plug. ALL KINDS of stuff that didn't work before magically work now!

Mine too, now that i have ONE dash light working after messing with this switch
