    Busted fuse wouldn't light it up.

    You shut all the doors?

    Better check all the door switches. One of them is probably worn out

    I had problem with the driver's door switch on the 98. The 99 just plain had to be replaced. Seems to be the switch that gets used the most.

    Does it have just one dome light? as power is continuous and the fixture is grounded to turn on, look for one that is not on and see if bulb fell out and ground wire is touching socket? I had that happen in a 1979 dodge van once... a long... just a few days ago!
