MAP LIGHT MAKES ME WANT TO KILL IT.

Most common reason map light doesn't work!?!?!!!!!????

Have replaced the bulb and fuse, map light and dome do not work. Dimmer switch replacement in order? Door plungers for dome light maybe? I'm lost. I hope I don't have to rewire it. I will be south of happy.

Thanks again, FoMoCo brethren.

Mine is the switch in the map light itself, it works half the time, just gotta wiggle it alittle and it'll stay on. Otherwise start checking for power at lights like mjr said.

The wires will break from use, sometimes solder is necessary.
