Dome light
Next on the list is the dome light. I don't have power to the dome light wiring but the cargo light works. I know starting out that the door switches are not hooked up. Do I need the door switches or can the circut be hooked up another way - can the dome light be switched on inside the cab? It a 68 ranger. Thanks in advance.

Re: Dome light
The dome light can be turned on by simply turning the headlight switch all the way to the left.
Here's the wiring diagram you need to get everything else hooked up right.

Re: Dome light
Well, I have power all the way to the bulb and the switch works fine so I must have the bad or wrong bulb. The bulb filament doesn't look like it is bad and I've tested two different bulb housings with two different bulbs.

Re: Dome light
Mystery solved: the dome light housing needs to be installed and grounded:) Everything works fine now:)
