Jeremy airjer W Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 This vehicle is a late model Honda CRV. The customer complaint is the dome light wont come on when any of the doors are opened. I didn't need to check fuses, door switches, or the bulb!What's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macgyver55 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 About the same as a Subaru that has the parking lights stuck on! Probably the most common (silly) problem with Subaru, so why didnt they correct it for a long time.....Or did they yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim43 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Wifes Toyota Avalon has a 3 way switch for the dome light when the doors are open it must be in the middle for the dome to work. Slide it back and they are off all the time,forward on all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy airjer W Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Wifes Toyota Avalon has a 3 way switch for the dome light when the doors are open it must be in the middle for the dome to work. Slide it back and they are off all the time,forward on all the time. There's the answer!Many times when something doesn't work we are quick to jump to the most difficult conclusions. Fuses, door switches, bulbs, computers, and wiring could all be culprits. A lot of the time the most difficult of problems has the simplest solution. Keeping an open mind and thinking simple can be a great way to start dealing with a problem. This customer could have saved a bit of time and money (it was in for other issues as well) by simply looking at the dome light and observing the the words labeled on the switch ( "OFF - DOOR - ON" ) and then moved the switch to the correct position.
