interior dome light

the vehicle in question is at the signature line below



when I open the drivers side door the dome light will not come on but when I move the nipple ( I'llcall it that for lack of a better term this early in the morning ) the light will come on and stay on until I close the door again. I reopen the door same problem.



wondering if it is a worn spring if there's one back there?

Hello Mike,

It's the contact switch at the other end of the nipple/plunger. You could try pushing the plunger in and releasing it immediately several times to let the contacts slap into each other and hopefully dislodge some of the corrosion -- works for me for now for my passenger side door. Good luck, Franko...

a quick fix that often works for me:

Remove "pin switch". clean all metal parts with contact cleaner. Re-install "pin switch".

Depending on which type of switch you have, there might be some plastic parts of the switch that wear out or break.

most parts stores have them.
