I just installed extra lights to brighten the interior of my xB. However I blew a fuse to the dome light. All the interior things went out(radio and lights).I've replaced the fuse under the hood BUT, now the dome light won't come on when I open the doors. It'll still go on if I switch it to "ON" but not if switch it to "DOOR"

Did I do do some irreversible damage? Can Someone PLEASE help me out?

 

I believe there is another fuse for that in the under the dash fuse box.

 

Actually I checked those first and didn't see any blown fuses.

Thanks though

 

I know this is a dumb question but did you check the bulb.

 

Yeah. The light turns on when you turn it to on but stays off when set to "Door" with the doors open.

 

Sounds like you shorted out the controller that controls the light to fade out when the door is closed.
I cant remember the thread but someone else on here did this also.

Expensive part for what it is.

Here is the thread on his problem,Good luck.

make sure you check it after you lock the car then get back in....
