Might be the screen but it's light green yellow and black with blue! Maybe my door switch got grounded out if water got in it?I see two wires on yours. White and black.
The white should be always hot.
The black should be hot only when switched. (Door open.)
If your door switch was grounded out, your dome light would always be on. The door switch is the ground for the dome light circuit.
The ground screw is the ground for the map lights.
Are you sure that when you reinstalled it, you got the wires back in the right positions?

I never took the wires out. I only just yesterday figured out how to pull them. It was working before I installed my gauges. As designed. Then once I hooked up the batteries and tried to test, things went south.

Ok.
At your convenience...
Reinstall the light. But only put the screw in for the dome light power.
That's going to be the screw that goes into the black connector.
Leave the screw out, that goes into the white connector.
Now put in that ground screw and see what happens.

By the way.
I believe I was wrong about the door jamb switch.
Mine has 3 terminals. That means it's not a simple ground.
Most are a simple ground. One terminal, one wire.
If yours has three, yeah, getting grounded internally might make a difference.
Still, in either kind of dome light, (With and without map lights), it shows a simple circuit from hot through the lamp, to ground.
So that means the ground screw is also for the dome light. As well as the map lights.
I'd still try it with just the one screw to hot and see hat happens.
if the dome light works, and there is no problem... Just for kicks and grins, I would then take out the ground screw. Then move the one screw to the other hot position. Then replace the ground screw and see if it causes the problem.
If it does... I'd just run it without the map lights screw in place. You'd at least have a dome lamp.

Just put the map and ground in. Nothing

Annoying thing is I replaced my door switch and connector last year and it's coated well in grease.

I have 12.7 volts across my maxi fuse and across the dark green link going to ignition switch.

12.7 volts at the switch on: black/orange, tan/white, and light green/yellow. Showing 12.7 at the lg/y wire at the dome light. 0 on blk with door closed, 12.7 with it open.

Continuity between ground hole and the lg/y screw hole on the light fixture. Nothing between black and fixture

Just cleaned it up and check again, both have continuity so everything is grounded/connected

Did the map lights work?
Next try it with just the dome light, without a screw in there for the map lights.
Those are all correct.
Tried both. Nothing works. Just replaced all my fuses with brand new ones and nothing worked. Measured incoming voltage and do not have voltage on: blower, turn signal, acc, instrument, or warning. I shortened the names but you get the deal if you see the fuse block. Horn has power and does not sound. Going to check the links later.

Corresponding fuses are 1, 2, 11, 14, and 15. All except 1 come from the ignition switch. The dark green 14ga fusable link goes to this. Gotta put baby to bed but will check tomorrow and let everyone know.
