i have recently bought a 2006 H3 Hummer and to the left of the steering wheel is a scroll know that turns on the light. I have put the know right before the click to have them only turn on when I open the vehicle but they do not stay on. I have to manually move the **** to turn them on. Does anybody know the solution?

 

See the image below:
press the button to the lower left of the control ****. It is a dome light defeat (see the little symbol).
Explained very well in the owners manual too.


If they still do not work. Post back.

 

i dont touch that panel in years. cant remember what all it does!
like auto lights,thats all.
spoiled and lazy...

 

I never had the lights above the front seats work, pressing the override button in or out. Comes on when i manually press them but no go otherwise. Maybe they arent supposed too??? .. to lazy to figure it out.

 

admitting here I also thought something was wrong checking bulbs and fuse locations etc until reading Tainter's simple explanation, it's a button that defeats the dome light and was probably just bumped. silly
