Default Hit bump, no interior light.

Hi all. I hit a bump on the way home tonight and all of the interior lights went out. Speedo, tach, instrument cluster, shift plate all went out at the same time. Radio, headlights, tail lights all work fine. I can turn the light switch and the dome light does come on.

I am thinking some connection came loose. Any ideas? I looked up under the dash and did not see anything immediately, but it was dark and the garage light wasn't the best.

Thanks in advance.

Brad

I had the same problem a coupel of months ago.

I had it down to two things- I fixed them both so I can't see what happend.

1) The "map" light on top of the center console cluster got loose and possibly created a short
2) I replaced the non existent interior timer light.

Also,double check the fuse on the gauge cluster- mine kept popping.

It has been two months and so far we are good!

Mike, what is the IP fuse?

I'll look at these things tonight. Thanks!
