Re: Dome light won't come on 700 1988

The pin switch has probably gone bad. Try wiggling the pin (pluunger) that sticks-out, if the light comes on the switch is bad. A single screw and the switch is removed from the door frame post to replace the switch.

--OR--

On some cars you can rotate the pin (plunger) 1/4 turn and the light does not come on when the door is in the open position, this is great when your working inside the car for an extended period and don't want to drain the battery.
