2006 Chevrolet Impala Repair Question


Topics covered: Dome light, Circuit test, Door.
Mileage: 44,000 miles.

Asked on August 12, 2012

If I have three wires going to a load, am I correct in assuming that one of the wires should be hot?

A friend of mine dome light stop working and she wanted to know why, so I checked the fuse and the lights and they were good. I then checked the wires to see if there was voltage reaching them. I used my equus smart test light/circuit tester and all wires tested as being grounded(green light - ground present, red light - voltage). Help, I thought this was going to be simple to fix!
