Default interior lights wont come on

Contrary to all the posts about interior lights blinking or not going off, mine won't come on. The fuse under the dash (10a) was good but changed anyway. Not only do they not come on when doors open, but not even when turning dash light dimmer up or pushing the overhead map lights. Help. This is very annoying.

Anything else not working or is it only the lights? If anything else is affected, could be a fuse underwood.

What year is it? Not 100% on when they might have switched over but on my 2000 the dome light fuse is a blue 15amp under the hood in the power dist. center. I would check there for good measure. There's a small group of fuses in the center. The bottom right mini fuse is the one your looking for.

Is it all the doors? On my 99 the front passenger door doesnt light up but every other door does, it may be the switch thats in the door jamb.

It's all of the doors and when you push overhead map lights manually.

Even a good fuse wont work if there no current present . Check for power at fuse .
