To activate the overhead light in a Chevy Silverado, locate the control dial on the left side of the steering wheel. There is a switch with different settings, including "dome." Push the switch up to the dome setting to turn on the light. The truck offers on, off, and auto modes. The auto mode will illuminate the dome light when the doors are opened, aiding visibility when entering or exiting the vehicle. If the dome light remains on in auto mode, there may be a faulty switch that needs to be repaired to prevent battery drainage. Be sure to manually switch it off in this case.
In my 2022 Z71 Silverado, the switch was found in the overhead console and was turned off by the manufacturer.
How can I replace the cluster lights on my 2017 GMC Sierra 1500?
To activate the dome light in your Chevrolet Silverado, locate the headlight switch on the left side of the steering column. The dome light is regulated by a rotating dial. Rotate the dial upwards (listen for a soft click) to switch on the dome light.
Switch on or off the left button on the overhead console.
In 2024, the 2500 LTZ Z71 has an overhead console where the switch is originally set to the off position. The yellow LED on the switch was illuminated. Pressing the button turned off the LED, and now the lights turn on when the doors are opened or closed.
