I had a burned fuse when mine stopped working. I believe the fuse was located in the floorboard, passenger side under the carpet. You can try that?

How is the fuse identified? Is it a fuse , a mini relay, a micro relay? There is a micro "courtesy" relay.

It would help to know if EVERY light inside is out or if it is a specific set of lights that are out.

All the interior cabin lights are not working.
The problem is something in common to all the lights.

I have found the problem. In the fuse/relay box located under the passenger side toe pan are a number of relays and fuses, the fuse foe the interior lights is no. 29, a 10a fuse. it is located on the right side second row in from the right 1/2way up from the bottom. It is just above the third relay from the bottom.

Thanks for the help.

That fuse does not cover all the interior lighting.

What controls the timer? A relay? If so, which one is it? My interior/mirror lights seem to stay on longer than what would be reasonably normal. Thanks.

Fuse 29 does not power all interior lights. How about the doors, HVAC, Radio, IPC, DIC?

People post without thinking what they are actually saying.

Mr. Sam

Got it. I was just thinking of the lights under the dash as the only interior light.
