When you open up your door, the dome light is supposed to come on. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt. Alot of the times the dome light is really dim and useless. Ive tried taking the spring latch off and cleaning the contact, but nothing…
what about the bulb
I would really try cleaning your contacts again. Both on the doors and on the dome light. I scrubbed all mine with a little brass wire brush and some simple green. They were all rusty. Pull the door switches and dome light out of the car and clean them front and back. Might want to Lubricate the slide mechanisms on the door with a little grease also. After you do that you should be good. I also switched my dome light out to an led which is much brighter than the oem one.
I just recently bought all new switches for mine. No more leaving the headlights on for me. Solves the no dome light or dimming dome light problem as well. New ones are still available through Honda, part number is 35400-692-043. They are about $11 a piece, and super easy to replace. I tried to clean mine up but they were sticking and develop a small gap in the metal and wouldnt seat properly.
I got mine for free at the local pick n pull.
