Map/Dome lights issue.

[VoodooBear]

So my map lights will work just fine of the car's doors are open, if I press the unlock button on the smart key, if the car is in the "ON" state, etc. However, if the car is running or of its completely off, they won't turn on. Any ideas? I'm completely stumped. :frusty:

Bad switches?
These are not real switches. They are just triggers that send a signal to the light control module to tell it to turn on the map lights.

Don't think so, they work fine under other conditions. If the doors are open or the car is in "ON" they turn on and off just fine. They just don't work while the car's running or while it's shut off.

Found the culprit. On the passenger side footwell fuse box, look for fuse #1. It's a 10A ATR fuse. There's no spare so you'll have to get one at a store. Replaced it and the issue is resolved. Don't know how/why it blew though. Will report back if it happens again.
