Ive got the stock dome light as well as an aftermarket big dome light. They have both been working fine since the truck was new but all of a sudden they both stopped working. The strange thing is that I have gotten both new bulbs and it still doesnt work. Ive tested the power at the light socket and there is power going to it. But the wierd thing is that as soon as i put a bulb in there, there isnt any power going to the socket and the bulb still doesnt turn on. I have also tried un hooking the aftermarket light, and that doesnt do anything. any ideas?

Check under the drivers side door sill... there is a white wire for grounding the light out... and my was so bad it was green!

Is it blowing the bulb once you plug it in, if it is you have a ground issue somewhere. Thanks
