Ned help cargo lamo wire

[loujizzel]

hi guys, ok prior to me doing a cargo lamp delete both cargo light and dome light were working off the switch. but since the delete the cargo lamp delete the dome light will not come back on, i have the orange and white wire snipped off at the ends.. and the dome light is still wired up.. how can i wire it up so that the switch work for the dome light only....

Have you checked to make sure you have power in and out of your switch and the bulb? Im trying to remember but I think mine only worked if the lights were on.(maybe that was just the cargo light).I know I rewired my lights with a constant power supply so theyd work when I wanted them to

Thanks for the reply but it was working even if the truck was off I read somewhere that it's part of the circuit the cargo light I mean so the cargo light works with the dome light it actually completes the circuit so just trying to figure out how I can delete those wires and still make the circuit I am definitely not an electrician

So after reading and looking at diagrams it seems like the cargo lamp is the switch. Now that it is gone my cab light wont work because the circut is not complete... i took some pics so you can see my situation and maybe someone can give me and ez fix ( it's never easy)

One of those wires coming up behind the door post is going to be your interior light wire..it will only have power on it when the door is open or you have you headlight switch turned for interior lights..find that wire and hook it to the hot wire going directly to the interior light..bypass the cargo light switch..you won't need it..like I said I wired mine independent of each other..

Sorry I steered you wrong at first..for some reason I was thinking the switch sent power to the light..not that the switch actually completed the ground circuit

No worry brother I think what I'm going to do is take the orange wire that I have cut from the cargo light and I'm going to run that to a hot lead maybe even the battery of the car and then I'm going to ground the white wire and see what happens what else can I do but blew a fuse

I know I late but the cargo light wiring just unplugs. Up near the dome light you did not have to cut wires.
