Ford F - SeriesThe Ford F-Series lineup offers a plethora of models for every occasion or occupation, starting below $20,000 and climbing beyond double that. The F-Series line offers something on the order of 75 permutations, more than some car companies' entire lineups. All are capable of work or play, even those models with luxurious interiors, and all have four doors.
Howdy, folks. I recently acquired a 2001 F350. Nice ride, but the dome/cargo light won't work at all. Tried new bulbs and the fuse is fine. Anybody else ever had this problem? Also, where is the switch on the door for the light? Thanks in advance.

The door light switch is on the latch mechanism in the door. I am guessing it is disconnected due to a sticky switch. Clean the switch if this is true with a good cleaner and lube it back up with Silicon Spray Lubricant, other lubricants attract dust and stay wet, Silicone Spay dries dry.

No funny signatures today, thinking of some better quotes so people dont think they are directed to them when I post.
yeah i had the same problem on my 73, i pulled the door jamb switch out and took my jackknife and scraped down the connectors to the bare metal and then used wd40 on it and havent had a problem yet, of coarse there is a big difference in the year 73 to 01 so idk if you can scrape the connectors down at all, might be a enclosed switch or something, but if you can pull it out normally with a socket mine was a 9/16th check out the connectors and what they look like and try that silicon spray mark v is talkin about and that should do the trick.
