so I was replacing all my interior lights with blue bulbs including the dome light in the front and back and the cargo light and Idk what happened but none of them will work and the light underneath the shifter and the light around the ignition key went out like there's no lights working. I checked for a blown fuse and it all looked normal and I have no idea how to fix it or what went wrong. I tried disconnecting the battery and replacing all the bulbs with the originals. anyone else have this problem? oh and it's an 06 tc

After putting the originals back in, they don't work now either??? You didn't have to play with any wires did you? Did you jimmy one of the sockets causing the whole system to be effected? Still sounds fuse related. I think there are more than one fuse that works for all of these. Did you check all of the corresponding fuses and not just one?

katybear

no it's like the sockets stopped working no matter what bulb I used. I didn't touch any wires but the socket like popped out of the side in the cargo area and I put it back in and then everything went dead. I'm pretty sure nothing's broken and there's no fuse I have no idea what went wrong

I just checked the fuse that went to the interior lights I didn't check any others

Probably a blown fuse when replacing the rear dome, check the underhood fuse panel.

It's fuse. It's gotta be.

Check the fuse panel under the hood for the 7.5A "DOME"

Soooo I found the broken fuse (you were all right) and I replaced it and two seconds later that one broke
I needed to use a higher fuse since I have led lights inside my car and the problem was fixed

It's not advisable changing the fuse to a higher value, the current draw and wire size dictates to fuse rating with a little extra romm for safety. You either have too many LEDs on the circuit or something else is drawing too much current. Do you have anything else tapped into the dome light circuit or anything else?

I had help from workers at pep boys and they said it would be fine... and nah I just have the led lights.
