Talking Re: Electrical problem

The multifunction module may be failing and disabling the interior lights due to "low power fault". The module goes bad and turns off the components at a higher voltage than normal. The interior lights are one circuit of the module. Module is located on a bracket on the steering column under the dash.

Ths is the same module (but a different output circuit) that causes the radio to cut out at high volume when it fails. I jumpered #12 and #14 pins on my module to stop the radio cut-out, but I have the same dome light problem as you do. Too lazy and cheap to replace it (and I got the radio working thats what's important ).
