Default Interior lights dont work. Just installeds led's

The interio lights dont come on when I open the doors or hatch. They all worked as I installed them but none work now. Any ideas?

Thanks

You probably blew a fuse... Which bulbs did you change out?

I changed the hatch, footwells, glovebox, rear view, side markers, and license plate. The glove box works when opened and the mirror lights work when I flip the individual switches. None of the interior lights work when the doors open or the vehicle is unlocked via fob. The side marker and license plate light are functioning correctly.

Any idea on what fuse to check? I have refered to the owners manual (97) but it seems to point to micro relay 42? I swapped it out with the hatch release since they are the same and the hatch still works and lights still dont.

Thanks for the help,
Matt

I just used some corky search key words and I think I found my answer! http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-t...or-lights.html

Looks like fuse 29 feeds 42! I need to start learning more about electricty and the c5! hahaha. I'll give it a shot tonight!

Thanks anyway! And thanks for the bulbs. They look sweet. Can't wait to take it out in the dark!
