dome light, whats wrong with it? Options

[d-roCk]

hey guys when i first bought my car i really wanted to change the dome light bulbs and have colored ones. first i tried to take the bulb off but i couldn't and then all of a sudden now the bulbs don't turn on and the wierd thing is is that when i press the button to turn the dome light on my clock either turns off or on and even when the clock is on its very dim. i really don't know what the problem would be my friend thought it was the fuse but i checked all the fuses i could find and none were blown...

ps also when my seatbelt isn't on the light doesn't turn on and if the doors are open the door open light doesn't turn on either

any help would be great!! sometimes i juss need to find something in the dark and its pretty much impossible for me to find!

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

ur wiring must be all messed up. someone must have tapped power for ur clock, to go through the dome. pull the fuse for ur dome light and see if your clock still works.

as for the seatbelt and door open lights, i can think of alot of factors

-bulb broken/no bulb
-light not connected/ fastened properly
-wire disconnected somewhere
-sensor malfunction (put ur key in the ignition till it beeps [key reminder], shut the door and see if the beeping stops. if it does then the sensor works and its just not lighting up the light)

The clock and the dome light are on the same fuse along with your door ajar and seatbelt indicator. Pull the fuse they all go out. The fuse in under your hood on the left side of the car behind the battery. I believe its a 10 fuse
