It sounds to me like it could be a blow fuse. Locate your fuse panel and check to see if there are any burned fuses. Simple and cheap fix. The only other thing I can think of is that there may be a short in your electrical system somewhere in your dash. The relay for the map lights and the hood lights go from the fuse box and up through the dash. Check the fuses first. If those are fine, the only real way to diagnose it is to take it to a mechanic who specializes in wiring and electric in cars. Hope that helps.

SOURCE: Map lights

Just wondering if you ever found a solution to this problem. I have a similarly equipped 01 SuperCrew and the Map lights do not work independently. All come on when the door is opened and all work via dome light switch on dash, but none will come on when I try to switch them independantly. Everything else works fine. I suspect a bad relay, but all relays are the same part number and I have swapped places with no change in results.

Why are my dome and map glove box and hood lights and windshield wipers not working and my door agar sound not working on my 1998 ford f150 4.2 liter v6 regular cab

I would look for a blown fuse in the fuse box, but that is the easy part. You next will need to determine why the fuse blew.

What could be causing my 97 ford escort to loose power i have already replaced the battery and altinater?

there must be a drain somewhere , check that all interior lights are off when ignition is off , usual one's forgotton are in the trunk, map/glove box even under hood if fitted , if non found disconnect the neg battery terminal and place a test light on the terminal and the other end on the earth lead , if it lights up then you def have a drain somewhere , i would suggest that to find the problem component that you remove a fuse at a time until the light goes off , you will then know what circuit the problem is on and can investigate that circuit

Which fuse for my jeep wrangler 97 is for the ciggarette lighter?

Hi, the 1997 Wrangler has two fuses to check. Both in the Power Distribution Center (PDC) under the hood. Fuse 3 supplies the accessory circuits through the ignition key and energizes the coil of the accessory relay. If your radio works that fuse is OK. The other fuse, fuse 5 supplies the power to the accessory socket when the relay is energized. The relay is behind the glove box and mounted to a stack of multi-wire connectors.

Where is the fuse for the radio in the 2006 Toyota Corolla? Not finding it by pedal or glove box only fuse box i find is under the hood?

hi if the fuse is not located in the fuse box under the hood try the aux fuse in the fuse box if this is ok then the problem could be either with the stereo itself or some stereo's have an inline fuse but to get to it you need to pull the stereo out and the fuse will either be in the back of the stereo or it will be inline on the live wire to the stereo you will be able to see it as soon as you pull the stereo out.

let me know if you need further assistance ok

plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks
