It says on the wiring diagram that there is a breaker for the doom light. Could someone tell me where that might be located?

The dome light feed goes to one side of the 14 amp fuse which is located on the same board as the circuit breaker. And that's under the dash.

The fuse 51 refers to is for all 'courtesy' lights such as glove, under dash light etc. It's a bear to access.

I recommend disconnecting the battery and using a screwdriver to pop one end of the fuse up then removing it. If you need to buy fuses, buy 2.

So I had both those fuses out but they looked good so I put them back in. I have no dash or dome light. I have put all new bulbs in but still no lights except the clock light works. I will replace both 14 amp fuses and see what happens.

The clock light and dash lights come off the headlight switch.

Check for continuity between socket and ground, also from center bulb contact back to fuse box, you may have a broken wire.

A test light can be a pretty effective, compared to just replacing stuff.
