Help!

'03 Dodge Ram Pick-up.

While installing a clifford Level 4 keyless w/ alarm I accidently sent 12 volts thru the brown wire at the dome light. It is a negative trigger and I had my output set wrong.

The dome lights do not come on now unless you push the map light button on the light itself.

I checked all fuses and they are fine.
I checked the bulbs and they are fine.
I swapped hedlight/dimmer/domelight override switch with another truck and it worked fine in the other truck.

When I check the brown wire at the dome light now it stays at 12 volts,
except when I push the map light switch. It will not go to ground any other way.

Thanks in advance for the help.

if so find the control box and check it out
