However my interior dome light is not working. Does one of the knobs on the dash control the light or is it only supposed to come on when a door is opened? My light does NOT come on when I open a door. I checked the bulb and it looks fine, but I can't find any switches/buttons in the door frame (as found on newer cars). Where should I be looking?

First, I put THESE door switches in. And then, because the dome light needs to be activated by a ground, I did THIS
