Unhappy Interor Dome Lense

I would like to know how you take the Interor Dome Lense off. Since I have no Interor Lights when the doors are open. I would like to see if the light bulbs are burt out.

You don't thank it would be the fuse?

If anyone can please help me here I would be very greatful.

I don't know if it is the same but a 01 lense looked like it just pops off. I looked in my manual. It just says to remove carefully. LOL

The door switch which is in the latch is prone to getting dirty.

Question at hand: What would you use to clean the latch?

I tryed to pull the lense off but am affair that I may brake it, that is one thing I do not want to do.

Ya know...even after all this time since I asked that question I was never able to get the thing off. Seeing this re-inspired me to give it another try. I finally got it! Once you get those two front tabs unclipped, gently pull and bend the lense until you can clear that slider switch. Then it falls right off.
And as far as the door latch, copious amounts of WD40 seems to work.
