Hey all, I've got a 93 cclb that the dome/courtesy lights will only come on when the rear doors are open. The part that confuses me is the dinger will go off when I open the drivers front door, so I'm assuming the door switch is good. Any insight to my problem here??

Did you depress the dome over-ride switch on the left of the dash?

Door switch can partially fail. To where dome lights don't work but dinger does

I don't believe I have a dome override switch. its only a 93, I believe that began in the '95 dash style....correct me if I'm wrong...


I can't figure out how to multi quote messages yet, LOL

I will have to pull the door switch out....somehow:confused:....and check it out.

93's don't have the dome override switch. In order to pull the switch you have to lay on the floor and reach your hand up to the back of it and push 2 clips in on it then push it out of the dash
