1999 Chev Silverado Door Light Switch

Im looking for the switch that turns on the interior dome light when the door is opened on a 1999 Chevrolet Silverado. There is no switch in the door jamb. When I open the driver door, the interior dome light and the courtesy lamp on the door do not illuminate.

The actuator for the dome light is actually located inside the lock mechanism. Have you checked to make sure the dome light override button is in the out position?

    Try the flat button above the round control knob for the instrument panel illumination. It sort of looks like a switch plate but its actually a switch.

Interior lights

the door switch has a single wire to it ,when the door is closed the switch moves back and stops the wire touching earth to switch the light off , when door is opened the switch moves forward and allows the wire to contact metal earth of the switch hence closing the circuit to bring lights on , remove switch and clean with a solvent the switch must be bolted to the body to create earth when testing

Dome light will not turn off when door is shut

You may have a damaged door switch. It is in the door pillar, a switch that pushes in when the door is closed. It should come out easy enough to inspect.

more than likely it is the headlight switch. All of the lights work off from it. My dads 97 chev would shut off all the lights after shutting the door. Then you would come back later and the interor lights would be on again and run the battery down.
