go behind the DR kick panel and the pink wire should be hot all the time. I'm sure you have checked the dome light fuse & it goes out from the fuse box to the kick panel. You can also ohm the downstream yellow/pink wires there (which go to the dome light) & there should/must be continuity

Also, somebody has disconnected what I believe to be the key in buzzer. They suggested that might be part of the dome power. Is this correct? I'd like to hook it back up. However I'm not positive that it's the buzzer. It's the yellow "box".

Have you pulled the driver's side kick panel, as someone mentioned? Cause there is a connection there and like that is what got pulled loose.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

keep in mind that the dome bulb has dual contacts & that the bulb metal perimeter housing does not ground the bulb like a 1157 brake/taillight bulb does. one wire from one of the bulb base contacts (supposed to be the yellow one/not sure why yours are black) goes down & T's (twice) so that either door or the HL switch can (potentially) ground it out to complete that circuit

The wires that go directly to the dome light are black or black & brown, they connect to a plug on the drives side either roof pillar area in 1/4 or behind the rear seat on the frame work. The wire is pink to that connector. If you pull ether kick panel out, you can see the connector that plug into the door switch and as stated before it should be hot all the time.

They all have that ring in the cardboard headliner. it is stamped in. I think yours is still untouched.

OK we have fire to the kick panel for the dome (the pink wire). we need continuity from there to the bulb and continuity back from the bulb back to the door sw's/HL switch. Dont know if that helps

Take a test light and see if you have power @ the dome light in the center , test your ground on your test light and make sure you have a good ground first. A trim screw on a interior molding usually works good.
Just a FYI- I have had china made bulbs not work and go pull an old american made bulb and install and it works.
