it did blow the fuse lol. Sorry didnt mention that. Shouldnt there be plastic inbetween the metal on the dome light socket and the roof?

My dome light socket shorts out on the roof. Its also a different socket than what comes in a sunfire. Im gonna electrical tape over the back so none of the metal touches the roof and see if that fixes the problem.

shouldnt that blow the fuse?


there was a guy who i think worked for honda years ago that invented an electric muffler....it basically took the exhaust note in on one side and created an out of phase frequency internally that killed the noise of the exhaust system completely

No but seriously. I know my buddie's Chevy Tracker doesnt have any Heater control lights.

And if they light socket is bent up, you might now be getting a good connection with the bulb, thus not making it light up.

hahahaha, im not that dumb. :-P nice jokes though. Im pretty sure the bulb isnt in correct, im gonna try to bend the clips closer together cause its loose as hell when you put the bulb in. The only reason in mentioned heater control light is because our ford trucks have the same kind and they have lights but then again my car is a gm not a ford lol

check the blinker fluid to see if it is low. If the fluid is low, then all lamps in the car will dim and eventually burn out.

lol ur a smart one aint ya!!! lol hmm we had this problem on a friends car... it was the bulbs no lining up correctly

well i checked it with a multimeter, it has power, 12.80 volts i think and like 0.06 amps. The fuses are all ok. the only other thing is its bent or the bulb isnt making contact. Maybe im not putting it in right? Doesnt it just slide inbetween the clips? Its also a little loose.

EDIT: but I still dunno about the heater panel lights unless they dont have em with is retarded

edit: there isnt enough power in the circuit to burn or shock me. I touched it with my fingers, smart eh? :D
