Dome lights - not getting full power
Dome lights - not getting full power
Guys,
A few weeks ago, one of my dome lights started flickering, then wouldn't light as bright as the other side. I pulled bulbs, switched them, now neither are at full brightness. I grabbed some new bulbs from the dealer, but no change. Anyone ever have this issue. Dealer believes that it's a power management issue (computer?) but I seem to doubt it.
Anyone have any similar experiences, or thoughts on a possible fix, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dave

Re: Dome lights - not getting full power
I bought my car used and had this same trouble. I took out the unit (two screws) and had a look at it. There are metal strips that carry the power to the bulbs and they were not making good contact. Bend them a little and it should fix it. BTW, I latter installed led bulbs and now when I roll a window up or down the lights flick on but only when I hit the switch. Others have this same thing happen with led bulbs.
