Default Electrical gremlin

I just bought a 2002 C5 and I love it. I have seen alot of expertise here so I have a question.

The only problem I have found with the car is that the underhood light, glove box light, rearview mirror lights, and sun visor lights do not work. I have been unable to find a fuse related to those items nor does the owners manual describe a fuse for them. Does anyone know where I should look for a fuse or other problem that would cause this?

Thanks for the help!

This would only affect the engine compartment light, but mine wasn't working either when I got my car. It had sat on a showroom floor for 4 years, and they had unhooked a connector under the hood top prevent the battery draining when the hood was left open.

Start with the engine compartment light and trace the line.

I suppose you could also have a bunch of burned out bulbs (although not likely).

If the fuses are all good, there may be a bad or loose connector someplace.
