interior dome lights
allright, so i came home yesterday from work and when i was getting out i noticed that my dome lights didnt come on when the door was open. so i thought i just blew a fuse, but i checked the fuse and it wasnt blown. so i dont know what it could be. if someone has an answer to this, please tell.

im pretty sure its the right fuse, i checked the wiring diagram and the fuse is #9 on the fuse panel. i will be sure to check if there is a blown bulb, but the thing is the lights you push to turn on or off on the side of the dome light will not turn on aswell.

there isnt a blown bulb, i checked them. the rear hatch lights up but not the front light, even the lights under the dash, only one side lights up at a time. so it gotta be something up with the wiring.

Lights Out, Radio out, Bulbs Good, Fuse Good
I've got a simular issue, all of the items/asssessories on Cavity 9 in the fuse panel are inop. The fuse is good and has been replaced anyway. Only change was to replace the courtesy light under the hood. It had broken and I assumed this caused a short and blown the Cavity 9, 10Amp fuse... Don't know what else to check. I've checked every fuse in the panel and they are all good.

If the rear dome light and floor lights come on, then you don't have a blown fuse. You may have a bad ground at the non-working dome lamp.

Nothing works on FUSE #9
In my case, nothing works on fuse #9, that is: Radio/Clock & Memory, Courtesy Lights, Glove Box, Cargo, Dome Lights, Telltales. All inop.
The fuse in #9, a 10amp is fine, even replaced it with a new one. If one of the lights is not grounding will the complete circuit be dead? If so, I think the culprit is the hood courtesy light. It had a broken bulb, which I replaced and cleaned the fixture. I guess I could replace it and see how that effects the circuit.
Any suggestions?
Thanks much!
