to check continuity use a multimeter set on ohms - you have continuity if the resistance
is low. You'll have some resistance in this circuit because you are passing through the
lightbulbs though.
Do you have some sort of aftermarket alarm? I wonder if someone "borrowed" the dome light
wire for the alarm? If they did, probably at the keyless control unit or it's gray/white
18-pin connector, both under the far left side of the dash above the hood release - the
green/yellow wire.

Now - for the light itself. I have the unit off and I have my multimeter set to ohms. But how do I ready the above diagram? Where do I touch the probes to test the different positions? Do I have to move the switch and push the buttons and then touch various places?
Give me a house outlet any day!

Found the issue... on this site. I was actually googling how to test continuity on a car dome light and found a link to this S2KI thread:
S2KI post light issue
Apparently, the S2K dome light switch is prone to corrosion. I took it apart, used Q-tips and vinegar and cleaned it up.
Works like a charm.
Thanks for the help.
