Interior lights

[SRTShelton]

My interior lights are still not working and I cannot find the problem!! The gauge cluster is not working, the overhead light is not working, nor is the a/c controls or the push interior lights beside the info screen on roof. I've checked all fuses and all seem good. I'm starting to think there is a secondary fuse panel like hemi ? I'm stumped I need help guys because everyone knows you need to see your speedo at night with these things!

I had a similar issue where my dome lights didn't work, the cluster, overhead console and everything worked. It was a broken wire in the driver side A-pillar. You can get the wiring diagrams from the dodge service manual which should be posted somewhere here. If not here, I believe they are on the viper registry.

Maybe a dumb question, but is your light dimmer switch next to your headlight switch rotated to off position? Your overhead interior light is also a push to turn on style and most don't know this. Push on lens and it should click to on.
Edit: see you tried map lights, but try overhead by pushing lense.
There is a fuse by the Airbag fuses in box that has a different cover than all other fuses. Check that one.

Tried the push on the overhead, still doesn't work..... Is the fuse you talking about 51 with the tab on it? This is so frustrating, thanks for the help

Did you try playing with the dimmer switch? The wiring for all the interior lights runs through it, so it's worth checking.

Yea I did, but come to think of it now, could there be a bad dimmer in the truck causing all lights not to work?

It's actually 51 I think but it's next to the two yellow airbag fuses and in same kind of fuse protector. Good luck, you'll find it :burnout:

Hmmm... Could be headlight switch itself bro.

Thanks man I'm starting to think that myself, just have to pull it off and get a new one and see I guess!

Ok so I changed my headlight switch assembly today and the gauges/interior light still not working. I tested all fuses with test light and verified that they do have power to them. Then I test lighted the interior push lights, no power. All I can figure is there is a cut wire somewhere. My door window and lock illumination works though ? What y'all think?

Rather than starting a new thread I'll just BUMP this one since it's the same truck..


I've checked all the things that Shelton did and I'm not coming up with anything either:dontknow:

Any other ideas guys??
