i have a problem with my interior lights they seem to go really dim or they dont even turn on same with my key hole light for my sterring wheel they all go really dim or not even turn on i need some help someone please help me

sciontcguy69

do u have a system in ur car? ( sub, head unit, speakers?)
have u done ne mods to the interior or lights that would involve any wiring or fuses?

krazyscion

probably u hooked up something that is drawing too much power from the lines of the lights

JINeration

is there a fuse for those lights inside

JINeration

okay this is really annoying me for the fact that i dont know what the problem is?

Can you answer sciontcguy69 or krazyscion questions? That might help people to help you. The dome light fuse is in the fuse box in the engine bay, it's a 7.5amp fuse.

JINeration

well i do have a system and i shouldnt have hooked nething up too draw more power

RammsteinNicCage

Well, if the lights dimming is always happening, try unhooking your system for a little while, just so that you can definitively rule that out as being the cause.

JINeration

you mean the battery casue i already done that and it didnt help

athlete3232

not the battery? how could u see if it worked if the battery was off? disconnect ur system (amp/subs) to see if that was drawing to much power...

JINeration

lol sorry my bad i have that disconnected already cause i wanted to make my car lighter

athlete3232

and their still dimming? than idn. i figured the amp would be tsking to much power.

prob the fuse, or maybe their not in right/good?

JINeration

well i tried puttin one of the festoon on in and it sparked thats when it started to dim

athlete3232

if it sparked it prob blew a fuse or the bulb. idn. festoon... thats for the back dome light, correct?

athlete3232

oh and whenever u do work on your car, dis connect the battery!

RammsteinNicCage

Yeah, I've had problems putting LED festoons in my trunk light, blew a few fuses that way. Take out the festoon that you put in, then look at the 7.5amp fuse that I think is labeled "dome" fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay and replace it with the spare 7.5 amp fuse. Does that fix it?

SquallLHeart

how do you short a dome light and have them still even work??

there's some screwed up wiring somewhere in your car..

JINeration

found the problem it was the DOME fuse in the engine compartment it was blown

RammsteinNicCage

Make sure you get rid of that festoon that was causing the problem. Took me awhile to figure out which one was causing the problem... by the time I was on my third fuse, the festoon went and left me with a REALLY bad odor in the car. Not good for that to happen, but at least it helped me find the problem. ;)

JINeration

yeah thanks for the info guys fixed the problem
