No map or dome lights?
I've got a 96 f350 crew cab and none of the interior map, courtesy, or dome lights work. The gauge cluster works and the headlight switch works. But when I turn the dimmer up to high it blacks out my double din radio screen. Don't know if thats related to the other lights or not but figured I'd throw it in there. Any info on where to start checking wires or other advice would be appreciated!

Yeah. It will turn the gauge cluster brightness up and down but does nothing for the map lights. when i turn it up to more than half it makes my radio screen go black.

You happen to have a link for the part? Is it just the switch or whole assembly? I appreciate the help.

I am not saying that is your problem for sure, but maybe?

Aren’t the map lights controlled by their own switches? They are on my ‘89 regular cab F-150. If I recall, they were also controlled separately on the ‘94 Bronco. Does the dome light come on when you open the door? Also the dome light dims but the dome lights do not.

Correct. They do have their own switchs but they still don't turn on. The dome light will never turn on, whether using the headlight **** or opening any of the doors. And I've replace all the bulbs.

Do you have power at the dome light? The housing grounds to the body when you install the screws.

No, I've checked the fuse too but theres no current when I pull the housing and test it at the dome light. I assume there's a break in the wiring somewhere I just don't know where to begin. And more importantly I'm not even sure what color wiring runs any of those lights.

After a dome light wiring search. The first one has schematics and the second has a couple places to look for a broken wire.
