99 Expy Dome Lite Problem
This is not the usual problem of the light staying on. When the driver's door is opened, none of the lights come on. I first tried the WD-40 trick to no avail. From reading these posts, I believe the WD-40 trick only works if the lights are staying on. I wiggled the wires coming out of the door and into the body and sometimes that makes the light work while I am wiggling them. I can't figure out if that means it is a short in the wires or possibly the switch. Any help would be appreciated.

Check where the wires go into the switch. It sounds like they have worked/broke loose and are not making a solid connection. If that looks good, trace the wires back and see if they are chaffed, creased, broken, etc.

You'll have to remove the door panel, and I believe it is part of the latch assembly. I've never done this though, so hopefully some one else here can shed some more light on the subject. I would think you should be able to pull the panel, and trace the wires to the switch.
