Hey guys!

So my 03 G35 Coupe dome light do NOT work when the doors are open, either side. Switch is in DOOR position.

Both doors so, clearly the door switch is fine. Lights are new LED's - doesnt work. Halogens dont either. Work when pressed for MAP light feature. Checked fuses inside, fusible link in battery area. did a battery disconnect to hopefully reset the BCM - no avail. Any ideas guys?? I really need these things to work. Theyre so super bright and I loved them when they did work! Lol.

Thanks!

Mike

 

BCM is probably fried, I had the same issue last winter, BCM reset did not work, I ended up buying a used one on ebay for like 80 bucks and had the shop swap it for me, that solved the issue, then I had to have my keys reprogrammed and the remotestart reset

 

You know there is a switch on the dome light cluster that lets you choose how the lights are actuated, right? I'm assuming you've played around with that?

If you have an electrical multimeter, use it to check if you're getting any power to the sockets on the dome lights. This will allow you to eliminate all of your bulbs as a contributing factor.

The dome light switch could be messed up... possibly not making contact anymore due to wear or rust from moisture getting into the area... particularly if you've ever had a leaky sunroof, or possibly a rodent chewed through the wires going to the assembly.

 

I went a few days wondering why the heck aren't my lights working, when I first got my G. Easy fix, and was about to offer the same advice. OP Check the switch. Start cheap then work your way up if you have too.

 

Per his original post, I think he's got that covered.

 

Thanks... I get irritated when I take the time to write a post and include all the information I am able to and people don't take the time to read the damn thing!
