so i was finishing up the dash and when i was connecting the battery i heard a pop and my cab lights do not work any more yet all my dash lights do? is there a fuseable link or did i miss it behind the fuse pannel door i looked under the hood box to but i'm kinda stuck ....on the other hand my truck is running and ****y alarm is removed and everything under the dash put back to factory.

help would be great!
thanks guys

 

It's Fuse 12 in the junction block, which also provides power to the radio, glove box lamp, and lighted vanity mirrors if you've got 'em.

 

ok truck in question is a 95 sport 1500. when you say junction box are you referring to where the fuses are in the cab or under the hood ....because if it's in the cab you are referring to number 12 and that is my airbag/cluster and it's good. i pulled the radio fuse and it was not blown.....yet my radio nor lights come on....yet if i cross my memory and power wires from my radio i get lights and everything till i turn the key off....that why i was thinking it would maybe have a fuse able link because i don't have a constant power supply anymore to my memory on my radio just ign power when the key is on.

 

ok so power mirrors do not work either.

 

got it ....had to do with the alarm.

 

and it blew out the iod....i feel dumb tonight....i guess a dash swap will do that to you ive been on this thing since 4:30pm till now 2:46 am (my time)

 

Pinch a wire somewhere?

 

My dome light on my 2000 RAM doesn't work either. Although mirrors/radio (factory infinity) do. I've followed along various discussions which all seemed to point to the black IOD fuse. So last nite I pulled it but couldn't figure out how to get it out. However, in that process, I ended up shoving it back in and viola!! Dome light came on and I heard a "whirring" noise - not sure what it was - reminded me of a power antenna. Anyway, so I checked operation of dome light - open door, shut door, repeat. Sure enough it worked. So I was happy.

This morning I go out in the dark to warm up truck. No dome light. Radio is working, and didn't even lose my presets although it reset the clock. Didn't check mirrors - but they were working before as it was.

So I must have had IOD fuse out long enough to reset computer. I would guess this also means that IOD fuse is good since I wasn't able to actually pull the plastic cover out to get to it? I'd really like to have a dome light....sheesh. Any suggestions?

 

Check the plunger switch at the door jamb.

 

Plunger appears to be working correctly. I pushed it in with door open, and light did go off after 20 seconds or so.
