Bulbs No interior lights working!

Subz_Civic · 30th October 2012, 18:00

In a bit of a pickle - tried changing my boot light and now non of the interior lights are working! I think I might have blown a fuse or something. I anyone know how I can fix this please

Check fuse #17 under the bonnet, that's the interior lights fuse.
There's also #14 in the fuse panel in the driver footwell.

I have a similar issue, no interior lights on the dash.

I've checked all fuses (including #14 in the footwell and #17 under the bonnet) and they are OK.

I don't have any glove box bulb at the moment though, can it be causing the problem I'm experiencing?

Experienced this problem once when I changed my boot light.Turned out it was the fuse #17 under the bonnet if I remember well.

Under bonnet fuse #17 and it is a 7.5amp(brown)

3 posts in a row confirming that it's the fuse #17 under the bonnet when I clearly stated that it's already been checked, lol

Will the interior lights go off if I remove the glove box bulb completely?

I don't have a spare one to try and see if this fixes the problem.

glove box light only comes on when the car lights are on - interior lights come on when you open the door regardless if the car lights are on or off

spako · 2nd November 2012, 10:46

Then I'm crossed why the interior lights don't come on despite all fuses being OK.

NoNumpty · 2nd November 2012, 11:02

same with all doors and boot?

spako · 2nd November 2012, 11:10

No, only the radio/aircon buttons lighting etc. I think the same fuse is responsible for glove box and this is why I thought that if glove box bulb is removed, it breaks the circuit.

You should have a spare as my car came with spares from factory.

In the middle you will see a bunch of fuses that have no connection to anything

And should in this layout

[30][20][15][10][7.5]

These are the spare fuses in their amp rating.

Sorry, let me rephrase it...

I don't have a spare glove box bulb to try and see if this fixes the problem.

Fuse that is boxed is fuse 17 which is 7.5amp

you can see the row of spare fuses and that they have no connection, i have replaced the 10amp as well as my 7.5 one that is why they do not look like the others.

That's great, but as I mentioned earlier, ALL my fuses are absolutely fine - I've checked each of them using a multimeter.

NoNumpty · 2nd November 2012, 12:25

is it your dash lights not working rather than the lights that come on when you open the door - fuse 17 is for the interior lights not the dash lights - I would think the dash lights are on the same circuit as the glove box light - do all your outside lights work?

The only lights that are not working are the ones that normally light up the buttons in the centre panel like radio, aircon buttons etc.

The dome lights on the ceiling are fine as are the ones behind the steering wheel (speedo etc). All outside lights work as well.

Please note, I'm currently waiting for the replacement glove box bulb to be delivered, there is no bulb in the holder at the moment.

Which fuse is responsible for glove box light?

NoNumpty · 2nd November 2012, 12:51

fuse 14 internal fuse box - but all your fuses are fine so it can't be a fuse

Grayfox · 2nd November 2012, 12:53

damaged loom, bad relay.

you need a wiring diagram.
