Default Dome Light (won't come on)
When you open the door the dome light won't come on. Even if you turn it on manually still won't come on. I replaced the large fuse #42 on the fuse cover still nothing. Is their another fuse Im missing? Thanks!

He's probably talking about the reading lights. One of mine on my '99 didn't come on for a while yet the lamp was good. Turned out is was a bad crimp on one wire to it. Both lamps out, I would be looking for a fuse.

My reading lights on the rear veiw mirror work fine but the lights under the dash and the two in the cargo don't work when you open your door or turm them on manually on the dash.

This fuse 29 issue comes up frequently. Can we have it on a sticky / electronic section.

Maybe Footwell hatch lights out fuse for searchwords.
