 Interior Lights Stopped Working | Joined: Dec 2016 Posts: 41 newbie | OP  newbie Joined: Dec 2016 Posts: 41 | On my 94 g20 van the overhead interior light has stopped working. It's the one where you rotate the light switch knob to the left.
The conversion lights still come on. I checked the main fuse box and all fuses were OK. There is a small fuse box behind the driver's seat which I believe are for the conversion lights, nothing has popped out. Any ideas? | | | Re: Interior Lights Stopped Working | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,880 Likes: 242 carpal tunnel | | carpal tunnel Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 9,880 Likes: 242 | Do they still come on when you open the door? If not then I would suspect a blown fuse/power issue.
Does your instrument panel lighting still work? If not then I would suspect a bad/loose ground.

The headlight switch knob and/or the door switches provide the ground side for the interior lights to light. So if they don't work either way then you probably don't have any power going to them.
Check the under dash fuse panel. You may have a blown fuse.
If you do have a blown fuse then you most likely have a short on the power wiring side of the light circuit.
If the fuse is good then you may have a loose connection somewhere in the circuit.

Test the power at the light. That's not a stupid question! That's a very good question! I was assuming but we know what assume means.....  | | |
