'94 Explorer interior lighting out

rsoby · 05-25-2010, 03:33 AM

I recently purchased a 94 Explorer. The interior lights do not turn on either via the door switches or the headlight switch on the door. The overhead map lights work on their own switches, the key chime comes on and the radio which is on the same circuit also has power.
My first thought was the door switches because it would be odd for every light no to come on but for the door chime. I did check the fuse as well just to make sure the chime wasnt on another circuit. Also the dome light bulb appears to be good.
I am going to check all the light recepticals with a meter but I was wondering if any of you had run into this before?
Thanks!

Had a simular problem on my '94, Only my lights would not turn off. Found the rear passenger door switch was bad.

Have almost the same issue as well. Dome light works and map lights. No door lights work. 92 Explorer. Any ideas?
