Dome light switch HOT

[Moosemoon]

I had the cluster replaced on my 2001 YukonXL 2500. When I got back the dome light switch didn’t work. I took it back - they ‘fixed’ the switch. Yes the dimmer works and turns overhead on and off but the switch and surrounding area is HOT to the touch. To the point that I worry about it catching fire. Thoughts?

First things first. Take the cover off and take a look at the bulb and its connection into the holding clips/connector to ensure that it is fully seated.

Thanks - will try that

Well - there doesn’t appear to be a bulb at the switch itself. It is the area right around the dimmer ‘wheel’ that gets hot. Mostly up and to the right. Thanks

There's a backlighting bulb in the switch, accessed from the backside of the switch body.



It looks like this:
