get your multimeter set it for 20V DC. Strip the wire a bit with razor blade. Put red lead of meter on the stripped wire, black lead on car chasi (any bare metal). When the dome light is on you should se ~12V (then turn the dome light off) with the light off there should be 0V going through. Not sure if you got aligator clips but they are tremenouds help when working with a meter ($2 at WalMart).
