any body have a fix or patch for the dome light not working issue?

i recall it has to do with a small control box near break pedal

my dome light, drl, map lights just dont work.

the drl issue is no biggie but the lack of dome and map light sucks

any input would be great

btw its a 2000 tracker

thank you

To the best of my knowledge the dome light on a 2000 has no control box - unless your interpretation of dome light differs from mine, so let's clear that up as the first step - you say "dome light", I think interior light on ceiling.

Next - the dome light has two controls, the first of which is a switch on the dome light itself, and that over rides the second, which is the door switch(es).  If you cannot turn the dome light on from the switch on it, you have one of the following problems - a blown fuse, a blown bulb, a defective dome light fixture or a missing ground.  Get a DVM or test lamp, open the dome light and start checking.

the bulbs are good as is the fuse and switches and grounds

the dome light and the day time running lights stopped working at the same time

Did you do as I suggested?  Is there power at the dome light fixture?

there is no power to the dome light or the map lights

sorry i forgot to list that with the symptoms

thank you

If there is no power to the dome light, then you have either a blown fuse or a broken wire between the fuse panel & the dome light.

i will check that out

now how does the drl work in to that.

when it worked the dome light would go out when you put the car in gear and the drl would come on

Looking at the wiring schematics that I have for the 2000, there is no connection between the dome light & the DRLs - my diagrams are for Suzuki, the Tracker may be different - HOWEVER - dome lights have been ground switched since time immemorial, so you still need to resolve the "no power" to the dome light issue.

i do need a good book for this thing.
is there a common relay or something for the drl and dome light?

could you scan a copy of the wiring diagram?

 

Check the door switch, ( the one that shuts the dome light off when you shut the door.) They get rusty and the switch body grounds to the sheet metal.

all five bad at once?

i looks more like a bad relay or some thing than a switch

i have checked and cleaned all , they are in good shape

The door switches are on the ground side of the circuit - if there is no power to the dome light fixture (which you have supposedly established with either a DVM or a test light), then a defective door switch although a possibility is not a consideration at this point.

Additionally - the switch on the dome light itself bypasses all five door switches, so the light would/should still work from that switch even if the door switches were ALL defective.

The diagram is attached, but I doubt it'll tell you any thing more than I already have.

what colour is the power to the dome light fixture?

You asked me for the diagram, now you want me to read it for you too?

According to the diagram it's white - but - that's a Suzuki diagram, not a Tracker one.

Now let me ask you this - since you already know there is no power to the dome light - what color was the wire you were checking?
