Hello,

Just so we cover all the options, have you checked the bulb to see if it is blown?
If the bulb is good have you checked the fuse for the dome light?
It should be the number 12 fuse (15Amp) on your fuse panel under the driver side dash.
Here is some info on how to check the fuse:

If the fuse is good then it could a bad wiring.
