The dome lights in my '94 Yukon worked at one time but quit some time ago - I think they are linked by a common ground wire but I can't find where the wire runs to see if there is a break. The under dash courtesy lights work fine. Any help would be appreciated.

In which ways have you determined that they are not working?
By opening the doors?
By using the dimmer switch?

Tried both and also opened tailgate . Have checked bulbs also and have 12V but no ground - aren't all the courtesy lights on common ground?
I'm trying to find the wire for the dome lights without tearing the headliner out.

I haven't looked personally at this but is there any way you can try running a jumper from the bulb socket to a known good ground? Just to verify it is indeed a bad ground or not?

I had issues with my dome lights. It ended up being an unserviceable "Override" button at the headlight switch assembly.

From the 94 manual. The PDF set can be downloaded here:

Thanks, I'm not sure these apply as my 94 Yukon 2 dr. doesn't have an o/h console but I'll go through the other Adobe files you provided - it seems like I need the wiring diagram for the O/H lights and a cutaway view of the wiring location in the roof, possibly from a shop manual?
