You should be able to pop off your fuse cover and it has a diagram on the back of the cover that says what each spot is and what fuse amperage it takes. If I had to guess I would say 10 or 15 amps. But that is just a pure guess.

Yeah, I actually went out and pulled each fuse to see which one shut off the dome ... none of them do. Kinda leery about pulling stuff under the hood.

It's wired into the headlight switch and only uses a relay. The relay related to the headlight switch that is.

i could be wrong but on my truck i had that fuse go and my dome lights would not go on and my obd2 port had no juice to it... so i took it too my buddies shop and he printed out the wiring diagram and it was the fuse in the fuse box inside the cab with the weird clip on it that looks like it is not supposed to be taken off but you have to... and i believe that it is a 10 amp fuse

If the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse blows the do-me light won't work. It's got one of those stupid protector thingys on it.

It should be fuse 12 10 amps. If you have power mirrors they should be on the same fuse, so if they are working the dome light bulb could be bad.
