So I have had all my dome lights and door lights replaced with leds just like alot of people have and they have been working fine for months but just recently I was driving at night and hit a pot hole at a weird angle super hard and noticed that the front right dome light no longer lights up. It seems as tho that after I hit the pot hole it knocked something lose. I can confirm it was working before i left my house. Also it now seems if i press the dome light repeatedly it will intermidently turn of and on all the other domelights in the doors and the rear seat reading lights. I put the regular bulb back in but still nothing. Im trying to narrow it down from there being a problem with the dome light switch since if you barely touch it without switching the button from door to on it will blink the lights inside or the problem is in the contact within the dome light or the wiring in dome light assembly. Looking for suggestions on what to do. Its really pissing me off as thats the only single light not working. About to take my car to the dealership and pay a 130$ inspection fee to have them take the domelight assembly apart unless someone can help me out to do a diy fix myself.
 
Yes, I have checked all the fuses and all the other lights work except that one right dome light in the front. I have also pulled out the fuse for the dome lights and replaced it and still it is an issue. Could it be something to do with wiring to that individual domelight or the contacts arent making a good enough connection or the switch [DOOR][ON][OFF] is bad?
 
Check the dome light connection with a volt meter to see if there's power. same with the fuse. I'm still thinking something came loose because of the pot hole.
 
I did hit the pothole with my right front wheel. but i heard that you can short circuit the connection. I have checked the fuse and the fuse is perfectly good. Is there any way to send a video on here? I want to show you whats going on and maybe it will help narrow down the problem.
 
I am having the same issue. My done, foot lamp and push button lights don't work, but the door lights work? What can it be if all the fuses are working?

If i push the dome light that doesnt work rapidly all the other lights in the car start flickering.

It could be that they are all interlinked and since one doesnt work then the others done the line wont work.
 
That’s strange. Mine doesn’t do that but it does have a short where middle switch is. I can tap the entire housing and the two lights will flicker and even cut off. I may need a new housing and you could need the same thing.

Thats what ive heard too. When i hit this pothole i hit it really fucking hard. I immediately slammed on the brakes and put on the hazards and went to go look at the wheel. It was dark but surprisingly the rim was fine and the tire was fine. Then the next day i noticed the domelight not working.
