Question 2001 F250 Dome Light Switch?

Hey Guys, I just bought a huge 2001 Platinum Edition F250...It's great, but neither dome light (crew cab) is coming on with remote entry or when I open the door. Is there a switch? The manual is terrible, it does mention a switch in the remote entry section, however fails to tell the user the switch's location? Thanks, Tom.

Here's More Info

The dome lights and cargo light do not come on with any of the doors open. I'm going to try to roll the dimmer switch all the way up now and see if manually turning them on works? Thanks, Tom.

Manual Switch Doesn't Work Either

Hey Guys, I just tried rolling the dimmer switch all the way up and it clicks, but no cargo or interior lights come on. Earlier today I looked at the #14 Fuse and it was ok. The map lights work fine, so I would imagine the units are receiveing power via #14. Thanks, Tom
