I just bought a used 2000 sunfire for my daughter. The dealer that I
bought it from had the heat fixed for us. When I brought the car home I
realized that the dome light did not go on. There was no bulb in it. When
I put a new bulb in, the dome light would not turn off. What could be the
cause of this? Is this something that I could fix?

On my 2001 there is a on/off thingie just to the left of the steering
wheel that I can turn mine on or off with. Have you checked that?

Usually a bad door latch. Could also be a wiring problem, or a bad
dimmer control switch.

Sure. As long as you have all the pertinent wiring diagrams, and a good
multimeter.

My wife has a 2001 sunfire that had the same problem. It was an
electrical problem and the wires to it had to be replaced. The same
thing happend to my dad’s 96 Cavalier
