Smile HHR Rear Dome Light will not Work

I just bought a 2008 HR LS. The rear Dome Light would not work. I was going to try and replace the assembly, however discovered how hard it is to replace the assembly. The switch seemed loose, so I took the lens cover off the dome light. The switch lever fell out. I looked at it very closely and I discovered the metal contacts of the switch has a spring underneath it. It was stuck. I used some WD 40 on it and it came loose. Put it back together and it works well now.

Good fix. I've moved it to the "How-To" library where more might see your solution to the problem. :)

Big thanks for the contribution to the site.

You are lucky, they usually get melted beyond recognition.

The actual fixture is held to the roof by a magnet. After you know that it comes off easily.
