: No dome or back up light's

I noticed a few weeks ago that when I opened the door my dome light's did not come on. The map lights (front and rear) work if you press the switch next to the light. Also, the lights in the doors work. They will go on and off with the button on the left that you push.

I also noticed the other night that my back up lights don't come on.

I have checked all the fuses and bulbs.

Mine also went out and i replaced a fuse but can't remember which one, its the ones by the drivers door. Check once again and you should be able to find one.

+1 its a fuse in the driver's panel fuse box. it isn't labeled backup lights or dome lights, it's something obscure but i forget which. take a meter and probe all of them for continuity and you'll find it. that will save you from having to pull em all to look. i had the same problem from some auxiliary backup lights i added. they got all corroded and shorted to ground, blowing said fuse-

I have actually checked all of them with a meter and found one bad but it was not to the lights. I will check again.

Any information on the back up lights.????????????????????

define "information"... i tapped into the auxiliary wiring harness that is wrapped up by the fuel filler neck (i think they called it "camper provisions") to get power for my backup lights. i used fog lights because i wanted them to be small and hidden. only problem is, they had vents on the back because they were designed to mount facing forward. these were like scoops and after 2 winters worth of salt being funneled into them i had issues! lol

When I had this problem I thought I had checked every fuse as well. But I missed the one noted above & that fixed it.

Check all the fuses and then look at relays.
