No dome lights

[mathiowetz]

I just finished installing my isspro gauges today, three pod windshield mount (look sweet). I disconneced the batteries while installing the gauges and making all the electrical connections but hooked them back up to test the gauges before I put the head liner and center overhead console back. I noticed they were working while I checked out the gauges cause a had the door open and they were shinning in my eyes hanging from the wires. I didn't disconnect the batteries to put the overhead center back but now I don't have any dome lights. I didn't connect anything to the dome light circuit or change anything. Checked the fuse for the dome lights but it is fine. Any ideas????

Did you check the circuit breaker with a light tester or ohm meter? Sometimes is is hard to tell, when they're blown, just by looking...

check the dash dimmer switch... if it is rolled all the way down, it will disable the dome lights when doors open

Is there a circuit breaker? I checked a fuse that was in the engine compartment fuse box labeled "interior illumination" 15A fuse. If I remeber I think it was positon 18. Checked it with a ohm meter, tested good. Also the electric mirrors don't work either. The stupid door chimer still dings when the dial switch is moved to the dome light on though. I think that is the last thing to quit working even after the cummins engine dies.

Check fuse 27 and 28. Should be the mirrors and interior lights. The only reason I remember this is because the TST uses these fuses for constant power even while the truck is cranking.

Is there a circuit breaker?

No... I meant fuse.



Here is a list of all the fuses that I would check:



18 = Interior Illum

22 = Pwr Doors/ Locks

27 = Heated Mirrors

28 = Overhead Cluster

51 = Cluster



This is for a 2005, but yours should be similar. Basically, you're checking all the fuses that may supply power to these areas. With what you're describing, it is almost certain it is a fuse...

It was #18 fuse, I some how overlooked that one. Thanks for the help
