when I bought my truck from a dealer the previous owner decided to cut all
the wires running from the firewall to the domelight,speakers,etc... to
the left of the brake pedel is a connector for the inside cab harness..
you might want to check that all the wires are securely attached.. as far
as the fuse for the dome light, in the power dist. box (in front of the
battery under the hood) theres a 5 amp fuse.. i've blown that about 2
times now becuase I like to install car stereos with the power on... :)

I did my timing chain 2 weeks after I bought the truck with 133,000
miles.. there was over 2 inches of play in the chain.. it looked like it
could have snapped at any time...
