View Full Version : None of my interior lights work

All of the interior lights that are supposed to turn on from the switch do not work. From what it looks like from the wiring schematics, all there is is a fuse and the switch, and then it goes to all of the little things to light up.

My fuses are all good, So how would I check if the switch is good> and is there anything else that could be causing this problem?

There's a fuse box under the driver side panel, check those fuses. Also check your 75A fuse.

I had problems with that too, I just replaced all my fuses under the driver side panel and my 75A fuse, and fixed the problem.

i just worked on a s13 same crap
fused was good so i went on headlight switch and that solved the problem


while i was searching there were 3 main things that can go wrong

1. 75am alt fuse
2. headlight swtich
3. TCU located in driverside kick panel

theres a whit box by the fuse pannel. This will go out and none of the interior lights will work but I could be wrong. Good luck

Replace your dimmer switch. When all the interior lights controlled by the headlight switch dont work, this is usually the culprit.
