Interior Vanity and Map lights fuse

[Tweet_this]

I managed to blow my vanity/maps/glove box/trunk lights fuses while switching them to LEDs.

Map lights still turn on when I turn the car on or off but not when I'm driving and actually want to turn them on. Rest of lights just don't turn on. Anyone have any idea which fuse(s) need to be changed or reset?

I check my manual and unless I missed something, the fuse map didn't say which ones were for interior lighting. I read somewhere that there's a fuse box next to the gas pedal but couldn't find that either :(

Any help is appreciated! Thanks guys!

The manual explicitly states which one it is. It says "on demand lighting." I believe it was #1? But look for "on demand lighting" which is exactly that, glove box, vanity, map-light buttons (map lights that turn on when opening your doors are powered by the fuse box in the engine compartment).

You likely did this the same way I did, which is when trying to plug in the glove-box light. Best way to do it is to remove the assembly from the inside of the glove box. Yes, it comes out completely and easily, and yes, it's better that way because the bulb can actually go in sideways and short the whole thing. It's a 10a fuse you can get in packs at your local auto store.

Page 207 where it says "Demand Lamps." #1. Pull it first with a pair of micro needle-nose pliers to make sure you get the right one at the store because there were 2 types of little red 10a fuses at the store when I went.

Make sure you reinstall the lights correctly, especially the glove box one which is what shorted my system. The assembly will pop right out with a little twist.

Thanks guys!! Much appreciated. Will go check out Autozone tomorrow to get the right fuse.

I did the same thing. Blue thunder is right. Just a 10amp micro fuse (red) in position one. Fuse box is located in right passenger side footwell behind an interior trim panel.
