Yep, sounds like it ... black/purple/red ... one thing that confuses me (granted I'm easily confused by wiring diagrams) is that the dome light is listed on this fuse, but works without the fuse (and is also listed on a different fuse). The dome light was flickering with the door open before ... so maybe I'll check that too, though I assumed that was a door issue, not the lamp.
