Default Did I blow out a fuse? Interior lights won't work

Ok so I was changing the bulb in my map lights in the rearview mirror when I was taking the bulb out the entire clip that holds the light came a little loose but when I started to unclip the festoon light bulb it suddenly made a popping noise & right after the pop all my interior lights went out. I checked every single bulb in the car & they all work in fact I put the bulb back in & it works. My interior lights work when you manually flick the switchs on the rearveiw mirror but when I open the doors or turn the *** next to the steering wheel they all won't turn on anymore. What did I do to my interior lights I looked at the fuse in the passenger floor board it looks fine & if it was broken wouldnt the lights not turn on at all anyway? I cabt think of anything they won't turn on automatically. What do I do? Oh yea my dash & everything work properly it's just the interior lights that don't work at all. I hope I didn't do a lot of damage.

Does your under hood light work? If not check the #10 fuse in fuse box

Sure sounds like a burnt fuse. Maybe you didn't check all of them?

I don't have a schematic but I would check all of the fuses down there if I was you. You can do it easily with a meter.

Micro relay #42 controls them but since I don't have a schematic, I don't know which fuse is the feed source.
