Broke dome light in my truck now stereo won't work?
So as i was taking the headliner out to replace the fabric on it i snapped the dome light i didn't see you had to unscrew it so now the stereo stopped woking when i took the dome light out. How do i get the stereo to work again its a aftermarket one came with the truck when i bought it btw the truck is a 1994 ford ranger xlt extended cab 3.0 liter. Please hel[p me
Sounds like a ground fault problem, simply replace the light you broke and see if that fixes it.
Most likely a blown fuse. In some vehicles the dome light circuit is shared with the radio's "memory" power wire. Check fuse #1, 15-amp, in the fuse box on the end of the driver's dash.
- What's the difference between the map light and dome light? I have a 2003 Ford Taurus SES sedan. I want to put LED interior lights. I was looking it up and I has dome and map lights? So I looked up the difference and the only thing that kept showing was the overhead dome housing?
- Dome light bulb is too small? I bought some LED bulbs for my Ford Taurus. They work but the bulbs are a little too small. The ends barely touch the metal contacts in my dome light assembly. They are loose, but still illuminate well. Could this be dangerous? (Causing a fire or electric short, etc?)
- Can a bad thermostat in a car cause the tempature guage in the dash to not work? Or is the guage itself broke? I have a 1991 Ford ranger and have no idea if the engine is overheating because the gauge doesn't work. Thermostat or gauge? Of its the gauge do I have to replace the whole cluster?
- Headlights, instrument cluster lights, tail lights, and dome light all stopped working at once? 1995 Mustang GT convertible, fuses are good, switch is good. I'm about to do a voltage drop test on it tomorrow but I wanted to see if you Ford guys knew something that I'm overlooking.
