Thank you. I put new tow mirrors on my 01 dodge 2500 and when I went to use them it blew the fuse. . I checked all the fuses that seemed to be related no luck . I saw your video checked that one bingo ! That was the problem.
I know this is a old video and I found it trying to maybe the reason that my reverse and cargo light don’t work but my truck is black and blue as well and I was hoping to find out where u got that dome light black and blue housing
Mine isnt blowing fuse. My interior lights wont turn off. I wish there was more answers than just replacing door jamb switch in other forums etc.. I did. It did nothing. No help here
I had the same exact problems as this guy, and i finally traced all the wires to a wire harness under the drivers seat, they have obviously been arcing and sparking for quiet some time, i even kept constantly blowing my IDO fuse, so anyway how i fixed my problem was to cut out the previous mentioned wire harness (under drivers seat) and replace it with 2 - 4way trailer harnesses in its place. Problem solved, been perfect for at least 8 months now.
Hey dually I own a 98 ram I'm having problems with light switch that operates dome, head lights, dash lights. My column and dash started smoking and it melted the wires behind switch about six inches down after pigtail and I loss dash lights, and radio. As it happened dome stayed on with a annoying rapid ding sound and I still have headlights and I've replaced all fuses but everytime I turn it over it starts smoking again. Any help would be appreciated please?
If its smoking in the column you probably have a couple of shorts in your electrical. Only thing you can do is disconnect the battery and trace your wiring harness to see where it is shorting out.
@@BlueDually4x4 that is what I've been on for two days haven't found anything under hood but as before found what melted behind switch but nothing else from there to rear was curious if I was to cut melted part out and rewire it back to new pigtail and switch would it do it again?

It is the stock dome light, I sprayed it with primer then duplicolor body matched paint.
Man you are a life saver I have been about to pull my hair out and trust me I don’t have much left
I need a little more info on how to wire in a relay....thx
Thank you for the information.. as I could not find any shorts.. thanks again
In my '02 Grand Caravan, this fuse wasn't blown, it was corroded open. It did not have that weird cap on it.

This helped thanks!
Indeed!!!!!
Good work
Why does the fuse that controls the dome like fuse number 13 keep on burning the fuse whe I buy a new one ?
Likely it has a short in the wire and is just grounding out or the amp draw of the lights is to high for the fuse.
@@BlueDually4x4 thanks again
@@BlueDually4x4I’ve had the same problem and disconnected everything other than the radio because my radio isn’t working and it just keeps blowing
