Default Which fuse?

Does anyone know which fuse controls the dome light/headlight warning chime? Light doesn't come on when I open the front doors, rear doors and tailgate opening turns it on still. Also, the warning chime doesn't sound when the headlights are left on with the vehicle shut off. I remember that I had to pull a fuse to turn off the dome in my old TJ when I took off the doors so I'm hoping a blown fuse is all it is.

It's way to cold in Winnipeg right now to start pulling fuses to check them all. Any help would be appreciated!

There should be a stick on the panel lid.

It should say "illumination" and it should be a 5 amp fuse (under left side dash, left of steering wheel)...Tj

Well I'm stumped... All the fuses are good. Dome light comes on when the rear doors and tailgate are opened but not when the front doors are opened. Any ideas?

Isn't there a lil door switch. It may be broke so it isn't reading that the door is open.

yup i'm betting the driver's door switch is broken or gunked up - explaining both (the vehicle does not know you opened the door - so interior light doesn't come one, and it doesn't know to let you know that your headlights are still on)

All 4 doors use the same little push switch right? I'll try swapping one of the rear ones to the drivers door and see if that does it...
