i checked the light bulb and its fine, i made sure the dome light is ON position, checked the fuses under the hood and the driver side too and no problems found.
well when you get rid of the oem deck you have to jump a couple wires, maybe those came undone. they'll be back behind the cd player. it could also be the door switches, manually push those in on each side of the car, they could just be sticking.
ok i found out that the metal clips that was holding the bulb in place was loose and i sand it down just a little bit and it works fine. thanks for the help. if it acts up again ill try looking at those jumper wires you were talking about.
