Dome light switch

Hello everyone, can someone explain to me how the dome light works originally ? I don't understand if there is a switch and if there is, do you have a picture?

Turn the headlight **** on the dash all the way to the left. Twisting it clockwise originally would dim the dash lights.

Ah, ok! I installed a new LMC headlight button and I think the function still exists on the new one because I had a terminal left over that I didn't know what to do with.

That most likely is the one for the dome light, I would reference mine but it’s a couple thousand miles away, but if my memory is correct…

there are also wiring diagrams floating around the interwebs for these trucks, I’ve found them very useful

I rewired everything adding fuses and relays based on the original wiring harness and all I had left was this unknown dome, now basically everything is fine !

I put it online if it can help someone, it's in French but it's not very complicated to translate
