dome light

[charger0740]

On my 73' when i put a light bulb in the socket the light stays on and won't go on and off with the switch on the dash...does anyone know what my problem could be?

One contact on the dome light is hot all of the time, the two door jam switches or the headlight switch provide a ground for the bulb. If the wires to either switch are grounded or the switch is defective, the light won't go out.

Did you perchance install a single contact bulb instead of a double contact bulb? If so the light will also remain on.

Another simple thing you might want to think about, make sure the knob on the switch is rotating all the way to the termination on either side of the switch..instead of the knob only rotating hah..Dont ask its happend. like the previous post make sure you didnt get a single contact..
