Dome Light Only Works in ON position

My exact next step, but im too fat right now...too much pie and nog. If i dont stay horizontal for the next hr bad things will happen and its cold outside. Lol. I think i may have to settle for the leds i had in it..they were fine, im just picky. I did learn 2 things tho..i need to read more before i post and i can dim the red led by rolling it forward a bit.

 

I'm losing my mind trying to find leds that work. Minda sharing which one yo are using?

 

iBrightstar off Amazon. I looked and it shows they are still available.

 

$10 iBrightstar 9-30V Extremely Bright DE3175 DE3021 Festoon LED Bulbs Error Free 1.25" 31mm for Interior Map Dome Lights and License Plate Courtesy Lights, Xenon White

This was one of the first ones I tried. It didn't work in the dome light

 

You are aware led bulbs have polarity the current can only flow in one direction.

Being that is what Diodes do allow current to only flow in one direction.

If you really need a LED dome Light go with a complete clear LED light not just the bulb.

Good Hunting.

 

I'm not I'm following. The bulbs work but require key in the ignition. And if the key is not in the ignition, my map lights also don't work.

 

I must have missed that post then. I thought they did not work at all.

Does your truck have an alarm?

Just having the key in the ignition and not turned to accessories or run??

That would be interesting .

Maybe At some point some one changed the wiring and has the interior lights powered by switched power.

You need to figure out just what was done. Who knows perhaps they had problems with leaving the lights on and draining the battery.

Best of luck!

 

I give up. After like 15 different leds, none of thr canbus ones actually work. Going to wire that fucker to the battery. Haha

 

Like mentioned in another thread it may be necessary to solder a doodad(forgive me i forget the correct word) to the led. I hope somebody that knows will be along soon to clear things up for me.

 

Yeah, resistor/diode. But I'm an accountant so I only know how to remove and replace haha.

 

I dont know why....and its not a lack of know how but i hate soldering. Hate changing oil too....no reason.

 

Funny I have the same concern. I made a post in “lighting forum “ with no reply. I was looking at the wire diagram I have the green wire #11 and green / white wire #4 both have ground when the door is open. (Door pin switches are good ) but, don’t see the black and black/ white wire #9 and #10 . Still don’t think the module is sending a signal ground when door is open. Will try using regular bulbs is circuit first.

 

What is the chances the body module went bad? Common failure? Or is a way to reset the module .
