Dumb Dome Light

[Gussie2000]

EDIT:

Ok, went through all the fuses, to no avail. But now I notice that if I tap the light off and exit via the PASSENGER side door, the light does not turn back on at all, not even timed.

While fussing though the interior fusebox, I noticed a diode. I'm wondering if that diode is responsible for the timing of the dome light to turn off? I'm also wondering if that same diode is responsible for another quirk, that being that I cannot adjust the brightness of my dash lights.

I know it sounds odd, you would think the brightness of the dashboard lights would be controlled by a simple potentiometer, but the pot does nothing when I try to turn the brightness of my gauges up or down. Problems related? I dunno.... I kindly beg assistance.

Probably the black switch that turns off the dome light at the driver's door jam may be broken,while the passenger one is working OK.

About the dash light potentiometer mines use to work,but after i upgrade my stereo sys it never worked again,i just didn't bother with it.

The potentiometer may need replacement,go to saint charles isuzu website & check up the price for a new one or call merlin for better assistance

Push your right hand behind the dashboard & try to figured out if the pot's harness is disconected.

I gave up on ever getting my dome light to work.

The only problem I have with my dash light dimmer is that I hit it with my knee every time I get in. Whenever I turn on headlights, dash illumination is always at lowest setting.
