2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer 4.2 S, 4WDSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Pontiac Vibe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The dome lamp is located in the center of the headliner. The dome lamp consists of a clear lens, the dome lamp bulb and a three position slide switch. The slide switch has the following three detent positions:

  • OFF
  • DOOR
  • ON

Power comes from the dome fuse, through the Left Instrument Panel Junction Block, and finally to the dome lamp. When the switch is in the OFF position, the dome lamp will not light. When the dome lamp switch is in the DOOR position, the lamp will light when any door is open. The lamp will remain on until all of the doors are closed. When the dome lamp switch is placed in the ON position, it provides a path to ground to the dome lamp and the lamp will illuminate.
