I recently bought an '09 tC and today I went to replace some of the lighting with LED bulbs. I replaced the 3 map light bulbs, the one rear dome light, the one trunk light, and the 2 license plate lights. Everything was working perfectly until the rear dome light started flickering and stopped working. Soon after the 3 map light bulbs stopped working as well as the one in the trunk. The license plate LEDs are working just fine. I put the factory bulbs in again and those don't work either. I also noticed the ring that lights up around the ignition doesn't work but everything else is working (HVAC, cigarette lighter, etc). I thought that maybe I had blown a fuse but I don't know which one to replace (the dealer gave me a owners manual for an xb.... seriously). I don't know what else the problem could be. Any help would be appreciated in getting this to work again.

 

hmm...that's fairly odd. i'd try unplugging the battery's negative terminal and see if that helps. if not, i'm not too familiar with fuses as well.

 

Figured it out... it was a fuse in the engine compartment (right of the battery). I expected a fuse for the interior of the car to be inside the car.

 

yeah i blew mine once and was suprised to find map lights in the engine bay.
nice one scion!

 

well there's fuses for lights on the outside of the car.. in the interior fuse box..

it's nothing unusual...
